----------------------------------
Blackburn Rovers - WWLDLD
Blackburn Rovers prepare for this match coming off the back of a 1-1 Championship stalemate against Leeds United.
In that game, Blackburn Rovers managed 30% possession and 4 attempts at goal with 2 on target. The scorer for Blackburn Rovers was Danny Batth (90'). On the other side, Leeds United got 12 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. Pascal Struijk (88') was the scorer for Leeds United.
An interesting theme in more recent Blackburn Rovers games is the high number of scores with a nil in them.
Taking their previous sextet of clashes leading up to this one, in 5 of them a wager on BTTS would have been a losing one.
Looking at the pre-match facts, Blackburn Rovers:
have not beaten Burnley in their last 9 league games.
are without a win at home for the past 2 matches in the league.
Arnór Sigurdsson (Thigh problems) and Hayden Carter (Knee surgery) won’t be available for Blackburn Rovers boss John Eustace.
We are thinking that Rovers will probably employ a 4-2-3-1 formation, utilising Aynsley Pears, Callum Brittain, Dominic Hyam, Danny Batth, Owen Beck, Sondre Tronstad, Lewis Baker, A. Cozier-Duberry, Ryan Hedges, Tyrhys Dolan and Harry Leonard.
Burnley - DWWWDD
In their last game, Burnley drew 0-0 in the Championship match with Stoke City.
In that match, Burnley managed 68% possession and 18 shots on goal with 0 of them on target. For their opponents, Stoke City got 14 attempts at goal with 3 on target.
A run of effective displays by the Burnley defence has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 3 from their previous 6 fixtures in total. In that time, the number of goals that they have scored themselves is 7. Despite that, time will tell if the trend might persist in this next game or not.
Their past results show that Burnley:
are undefeated by Blackburn Rovers when having played them away from home in the previous 4 league matches. An impressive run.
are unbeaten in their previous 6 league matches away from home.
Burnley manager Scott Parker has multiple availability issues to deal with. Benson Manuel (Achilles tendon problems), Hannes Delcroix (Adductor pain), Mike Trésor (unknown injury), Aaron Ramsey (Knee injury) and Jordan Beyer (Knee injury) are those who can’t be considered.
We reckon that The Clarets could decide to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 system, giving starts to James Trafford, Connor Roberts, CJ Egan-Riley, Maxime Estève, Bashir Humphreys, Josh Cullen, Josh Laurent, Jeremy Sarmiento, Josh Brownhill, Jaidon Anthony and Zian Flemming.
Blackburn Rovers possible starting lineup:
Pears; Brittain, Hyman, Batth, Beck; Tronstad, Baker; Cozier-Duberry, Hedges, Dolan; Ohashi
Burnley possible starting lineup:
Trafford; Roberts, Egan-Riley, Esteve, Humphreys; Cullen, Laurent; Sarmiento, Brownhill, Anthony; Flemming

Prediction: Blackburn Rovers 1-2 Burnley
