Blackburn Rovers, Recent FormAny Blackburn Rovers pre-match expectations for their last outing were misplaced, after an unexpected 3-1 away defeat by Sheffield Wednesday. They achieved 63% possession in that match and had 18 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Sheffield Wednesday's tally of 13 efforts at goal, 8 of which were on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 9 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
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 9 league games at Ewood Park.
Sammie Szmodics will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 7 goals in the last 6 league outings for Blackburn Rovers.
Leeds United, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 3-2 home win over Middlesbrough in their last league game, Leeds United will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. Their share of possession in that meeting was 61%, while racking up 20 shots along the way, 9 of which were on target. Middlesbrough had 11 shots on goal with 4 on target.
It's been a rewarding period in front of goal, with 14 goals scored in their last 6 matches; that said, boss Daniel Farke will be less happy with his defence, who have conceded 6 goals in the same period. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 6 games.
Daniel James will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 5 goals in the last 6 league games for Leeds United.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Blackburn Rovers who ended up empty-handed, losing 1-3 to Leeds United.
Blackburn will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 12 encounters with The Whites. Leeds have a good attacking record away to The Riversiders in the league, having scored a total of 6 goals in their last 3 visits, which gives an average of 2 goals per game.
Leeds has won the last 3 games they've played against Blackburn in the league.
Blackburn manager Jon Dahl Tomasson has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Tyrhys Dolan (Knee), Sam Gallagher (Tendon), Ryan Hedges (Hamstring), Dominic Hyam (Ankle), Aynsley Pears (Foot) and Joe Rankin-Costello (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Leeds manager Daniel Farke ahead of this clash, with Stuart Dallas (Broken hip) missing out, which gives Farke a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
