Blackburn Rovers, Recent FormBlackburn Rovers manager Jon Dahl Tomasson will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against Rotherham United. They came away from that fixture with 77% of the possession and clocked up 22 attempts on goal with 6 on target. By comparison, Rotherham United managed 9 attempts on goal, with 3 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 9 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at Ewood Park.
Blackburn will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement.
Goalscorer Sammie Szmodics will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Blackburn Rovers.
Hull City, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 4-2 home win over Sheffield Wednesday in their last league game, Hull City will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. In that game they had 73% possession and managed 15 attempts on goal, with 7 on target, compared to Sheffield Wednesday who had 6 attempts and 2 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Liam Rosenior will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 8 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 8 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 11 games.
Ozan Tufan will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Hull City.
The previous match between these two ended without a goal and a share of the spoils, so it wasn't one to remember on that occasion.
Blackburn will be looking to extend their current run of 4 clean sheets against The Tigers at Ewood Park. Hull City have struggled to break down The Riversiders defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings.
In this away league fixture, Hull City has not won in the last 4 times they have played Blackburn at Ewood Park.
With only Arnór Sigurðsson (Leg) and Jack Vale (Leg) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Jon Dahl Tomasson will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
There is only really one injury concern for the Hull City manager Liam Rosenior ahead of this clash, with Greg Docherty (Knee) missing out, which gives Rosenior a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
