Former Premier League champions Leicester City play their final game in this season's Championship. The Foxes are 23rd in the table and already relegated. Their final game is away to low-scoring 20th placed Blackburn Rovers. More about this in our match prediction below.
Even if their six points deduction was restored, City would still be preparing for life in League One next season.. They have gone eight league games without a win but drawn the last two. Only four away league games have been won this season, the last being at Derby last December.
Five of their last seven league games have seen less than 2.5 goals scored. That stat has come up in each of their last five away league games. The reverse fixture against Blackburn was lost 2-0 and four of the last six games between these two clubs have seen fewer than three goals scored.
Blackburn Rovers have been in danger of going down to League One. Their recent form has improved with only one loss in their last eight games. They are now safe from relegation. Scoring goals has been a problem for them this term.
Only 19 home goals have been scored this season with eight of their last nine home games seeing less than 2.5 goals scored.
We tip that stat to come up here.

Our Blackburn vs Leicester Prediction
Blackburn don't win many games but they have done enough to keep themselves out of the bottom three. Rovers struggle for goals and definitely need to sign a new striker during the summer. 15 home league games this season have seen less than 2.5 goals scored.
It's all gone wrong for Leicester City who were in the Premier League last season. Next term will see them playing in League One and they come into this game having gone eight without a win. Our Blackburn v Leicester prediction is less than 2.5 goals.
