Blackburn Team News
Once again Blackburn started the season with a very young team. The squad is full of young players and most of them come through the club’s academy.
The average age of starting IX is in most games under 24 years and Blackburn has one of the youngest squads in the league.
Like last season, their results are often hot and cold. Last season they were without a draw after 27 games and now after 15 games they have only one draw, with seven defeats and seven wins.
Blackburn is playing in a series. They were in the run of four defeats in a row before they managed to win three consecutive games. After that, they suffered a defeat to Swansea and on Sunday, they managed to beat Norwich at Carrow Road.
Blackburn scored 23 goals, which isn’t that bad, but they conceded 24 goals and only six teams conceded more goals than them.
They failed to score in three games (only one at home) and kept three clean sheets (only one at home). Nine of their 15 games ended with BTTS, and five of seven at home ended with BTTS.
Blackburn doesn’t have a recognized striker this season, after the departure of Ben Brereton, but Sammie Szmodics, who is an attacking midfielder, stepped in and filled that gap with nine goals and two assists. He contributed 11 of 23 goals this season.
Jon Dahl Tomasson had defensive issues before this game. Scott Wharton receives a red card against Norwich, but the good news is that that red card is overturned, and he can play, but right-back Joe Rankin-Costello is injured. Dom Hyam and Hayden Carter are also injured.
At Ewood Park, Blackburn has had four defeats in the last six games.

Preston Team News
Preston had an amazing start to the season above all expectations.
They started the new season undefeated in eight games, winning six of them. They were in the first place in the table for some time.
But after that good run, they got into a bad run. Simply they cannot follow that rhythm and slipped into a bad run of seven games without a win. They dropped to 9th place in the table, but they managed to beat Coventry last week and return to winning ways.
That victory was very important. Another bad result will be terrible for Preston before this derby, and they will drop a few more positions on the table. But their victory was very controversial. Anthony Talor was dropped to the Championship by the FA and was the main referee in a game between Preston and Coventry.
At a 1-1 result he was awarded a non-existent penalty to Preston.
Preston is now 6th in the table with 25 points and for now, their season is going great, because, by most predictions before the start of the season, no one sees them in the top half.
Preston failed to score in only three games and kept only two clean sheets. Ten of their 15 games ended with BTTS.
Away from home, they are four games without a win.

Blackburn Rovers vs Preston Prediction
This is one huge game for both clubs. Preston will have more than 3.500 fans at Ewood Park, the television will broadcast this game, and neither team will want to lose.
For Blackburn, the three points here are important for coming closer to the top 6 zone and for Preston to stay in the top 6 zone.
In recent years we had a couple of amazing duels between these two teams and six of the last eight ended with BTTS.
The last time that this game ended 0-0 was in 1981!
