Blackburn Rovers head into the upcoming weekend with a relatively positive start to their second season under the management of Jon Dahl Tomasson. Despite narrowly missing out on the playoffs last season, finishing seventh with 69 points, they are determined to improve and build on their previous success. Despite facing challenges during the summer, Blackburn enjoyed an impressive opening-day victory against West Bromwich Albion, with goals from Dilan Markanday and Harry Leonard securing a 2-1 win. They continued their success in the EFL Cup, defeating Walsall 4-3 with goals from Zak Gilsenan, Niall Ennis, Jake Garrett, and John Buckley. In their most recent Championship match against Rotherham United, Blackburn displayed resilience after going 2-0 down, with Sammie Szmodics scoring twice to salvage a point. While the result may not have been ideal, Blackburn will look to extend their unbeaten start to the season and secure another home win this weekend.
Blackburn Rovers Predicted Lineup
Pears; Rankin-Costello, Hyam, Carter, Pickering; Travis, Wharton; Markanday, Szmodics, Dolan; Gallagher
