Blackburn Rovers, Recent FormWhen Blackburn Rovers last played in the league they faced Stoke City and produced an outstanding 3-0 away win. Their share of possession in that meeting was 35%, while racking up 7 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Stoke City, who had 12 shots on goal with 1 on target.
Manager Jon Dahl Tomasson will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. 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.
They're experiencing a very poor spell of form at Ewood Park, having lost 4 of their last 6 home games. If they want to get anywhere this season, they'll need to do something very quickly to fix their home form, having lost 5 of the first 8 league games at Ewood Park.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Blackburn Rovers, Sammie Szmodics will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Birmingham City, Recent FormBirmingham City will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-1 winners in their home fixture against Sheffield Wednesday. In that game they recorded 52 % of the possession, with 13 attempts on goal, 5 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 16 shots on goal.
Manager Wayne Rooney will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 12 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 6 goals they managed at the other end. So far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 14 of their 17 games.
Birmingham City will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form on the road. They've lost their last 6 league games in a row away from home and not recorded a win on their travels in 6 games.
Jay Stansfield has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Blackburn Rovers.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Blackburn Rovers who ended up empty-handed, losing 1-0 to Birmingham City.
