Rotherham vs Blackburn Rovers Predictions

• Blackburn have drawn 11 matches in the Championship this season
• Blackburn have seen 15 goals in their last four fixtures
• Both teams have scored in 11 of Rotherham’s 22 home fixtures this term

High-scoring affair expected as Rotherham fight against the drop

Rotherham are fighting for their lives in the Championship this season and failure to win at Blackburn could all but confirm their relegation to League One.

A dreadful run of five successive defeats has nudged Rotherham closer to a return to England’s third tier and they have had problems in the final third in particular, drawing blanks in four of their last five assignments.

That does not bode well for their home contest with Blackburn this weekend especially given that Rovers are fresh from thrashing another side in the division’s lower echelons – Huddersfield – 5-2 last time out.

There is plenty riding on this game for Rotherham and they cannot afford to just sit back.

Blackburn have seen 110 goals in their 44 matches this season so a high-scoring clash should be expected at the New York Stadium, where the best bet could be over 3.5 goals and we predict a 2-2 scoreline.
