Blackburn Rovers will hope to move further away from the EFL Championship relegation zone when they travel to top-six chasers Derby County for matchday 35. This match on Saturday in Derby between the 11th-placed Rams and the 20th-placed Rovers comes with our prediction of BTTS.
Ahead of this weekend’s games, Derby’s 48 points (W13, D9, L12) put them six points outside the top six places. Blackburn have 38 points (W10, D8, L16) and are four points above the relegation zone.
Derby were beaten 4-2 away at Hull in this week’s Championship fixture, extending their recent poor form. The Rams have now lost three of their last four league games (W1) and fallen behind in the race for playoff spots.
Getting their mojo back at home could be crucial in reviving those hopes, as Derby have just two wins from their last nine home league games (D3, L4).
Blackburn were beaten 2-1 at home by Bristol in their game this week, ending a two-game winning sequence. With three wins from their last five league games (L2), the Rovers are pushing to move away from the danger zone.
Despite those successes, Blackburn are still far away from improving their away record. They have just one win from their last nine away competitive trips (D3, L5), although that came on their latest visit.
