Blackburn Rovers, Recent FormBlackburn Rovers had to make do with a share of the points in their last match, with a 1-1 draw against Millwall. During that encounter they had 69% possession and had 11 attempts on goal with 3 on target, while their opponents hit 1 of their 3 shots on goal.
When it comes to attacking power John Eustace will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 5 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 7 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. Playing at home, they've conceded a goal in each of their last 12 games.
There will be mixed feelings from The Riversiders, although undefeated in their last 3 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.
On an individual basis, Sammie Szmodics will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 20 goals in Blackburn Rovers' 36 league games this season.
Plymouth Argyle, Recent FormThe Plymouth Argyle players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Sheffield Wednesday recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat. Their share of possession in that meeting was 46%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Sheffield Wednesday had 18 shots on goal with 3 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 4 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 10 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
They will be looking to try and improve on a largely bad set of recent results that have seen them defeated in 4 of their last 6 league matches, with just a single victory recorded. It's fair to say they'll need a serious change of form if they want to start moving up the table. Winning away from home has been a bit of a problem for them this season having only managed to win 2 of their 18 league games on the road.
On an individual basis, Ryan Hardie will be looking to cause Blackburn Rovers some problems having scored 3 goals in Plymouth Argyle's last 6 away games in the league.
Blackburn Rovers will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Plymouth Argyle, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 3-0 defeat.
The Pilgrims will be confident of finding the net in this one against Blackburn, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 6 encounters between the two sides. On each of the last 2 outings between Blackburn and The Pilgrims in the league, Blackburn have not performed well in front of goal and have come up empty-handed in terms of goals.
Blackburn have lost the last 2 times they've faced Plymouth in the league and have failed to win in their last 3 encounters.
Blackburn manager John Eustace has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Hayden Carter (Hamstring), John Fleck (Calf), Ryan Hedges (Groin), Harry Leonard (Knock), Joe Rankin-Costello (Leg) and Sondre Tronstad (Ankle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Plymouth manager Ian Foster has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
