Blackburn Rovers, Recent FormBlackburn Rovers enter this game with a comfortable 2-1 away win over Middlesbrough last time out in the league. During that encounter they recorded 41% of the possession and had 10 attempts on goal with 5 on target, while their opponents managed to hit 8 of their 16 shots on goal.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 7 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 6, and leading to valuable points being dropped. Having found the back of the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at Ewood Park, they are developing an impressive scoring record at home. They have not been performing well at all defensively, not delivering a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches.
They have had a good run of form at Ewood Park recently, having won 4 out of their last 6 home games.
On an individual basis, Ben Brereton Díaz will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at Ewood Park having scored 5 goals in Blackburn Rovers' last 6 home games in the league.
Sunderland, Recent FormSunderland will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-1 home win against Wigan Athletic. In that game they had 60% possession and managed 8 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Wigan Athletic who had 8 attempts and 1 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 5 and seen valuable points lost. Scoring goals away from home is something they have consistently achieved of late, having notched up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches on their travels.
They're experiencing a bit of an unwelcome spell of form away from home, having lost 3 of their last 6 on the road and picking up only 2 wins.
Ross Stewart will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 5 goals in the last 6 league outings for Sunderland.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 2-0 win for Blackburn Rovers.
Blackburn have managed to keep a clean sheet against The Black Cats in each of their previous 2 meetings at Ewood Park.
In the league, Blackburn have been unbeaten in their last 3 times they have welcomed Sunderland to Ewood Park.
With only Daniel Ayala (Muscle) and Sam Barnes (Knee) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Jon Dahl Tomasson will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Sunderland manager Tony Mowbray has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Daniel Ballard (Broken foot), Leon Dajaku (Stomach), Ellis Simms (Toe) and Ross Stewart (Thigh) are all currently out of contention for this game.
