Fourth placed Preston North End bid to make it six home league wins this season. To achieve that they need to beat Blackburn Rovers who are 19th in the Championship table. Read our match prediction below.
Preston have won five of their nine home league fixtures this season. They are in the play-off positions and only three points behind the second place that would automatically promote them to the Premier League.
They would have been closer but for losing a lead at Millwall in their most recent game and drawing 1-1. That prevented Preston from making it four successive league wins. Four of their last six games have seen both teams score.
Blackburn Rovers are six points above the relegation zone but it's not their away form that is to blame. Home results have been poor for Rovers this season with just four points from seven league games played at Ewood Park.
But for their away form they'd probably be in the bottom three. Blackburn have won four of their seven away league fixtures, including the last two. Only Coventry and Stoke have earned more away points than Rovers.
Three of their last five league games have seen both teams score. We tip that stat to come up here.

Our Preston North End vs Blackburn Prediction
It's been a strange season so far for Blackburn Rovers. Their home form is terrible but they have won four of their seven away games in the Championship. They are nine points away from the final promotion play-off position and can't let that gap widen much further.
Their last two away league games have both been won so they will be difficult opponents for Preston who are in the play-off positions. They are strong at home but can they dent Blackburn's away record. Our Preston v Blackburn prediction is both teams to score.
