Blackburn and Swansea to both score at Ewood Park

Blackburn and Swansea to both score at Ewood Park
1658

A midweek 0-0 draw at home with Stoke City extended Blackburn’s unbeaten run in the Championship to 4 matches as they look ahead to the upcoming clash against Swansea City and a chance to add to their points tally in their quest for a possible play-off spot.

Recent wins against Hull City 3-0 at home and a 2-0 win away at Charlton Athletic have been followed by draws with Brentford 2-2 and the aforementioned 0-0 stalemate with Stoke City, and having suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 13 matches at Ewood Park in the Championship, Tony Mowbray’s men look in good shape for this upcoming encounter.

Indeed, Rovers have lost at home on just three occasions so far in this campaign, but they’ll be tested by an equally upward mobile outfit in the shape of Swansea City on Saturday who are just 1 point behind Blackburn in 9th place.

Midfielder Dack (9 goals) and forward Armstrong (11 goals) look the most likely to notch for the hosts here.

Onto Swansea City, and the visitors are also vying for a top six finish come the end of the regular season in the Championship, but The Swans make the trip up north on the back of a narrow 1-0 defeat away from home at Fulham on Wednesday night.

Swansea had previously picked up points in draws with QPR 0-0 and a highly entertaining 4-4 draw with Hull City along with a 3-1 home win over Huddersfield Town, so they’ll be keen to get something out of this clash in order to stay ion touch with the play-off pack.

Following a sequence of disappointing results away from home though, which have seen Swansea fail to win any of their last 6 matches on their travels in the Championship, the straight win markets should be avoided (in Swansea’s case anyway).

Instead, the goals market appeals with the visitors as 10 of Swansea’s 17 away matches have resulted with both teams scoring, and with the likes of forward Ayew (11 goals) in their attacking ranks, the visitors stand a decent chance of scoring here too.

There’s solid previous history between these two teams in terms of goals as both sides have scored in 5 of the previous 6 encounters and this trend could well continue at Ewood Park this Saturday.
