Championship action returns at the weekend with an interesting match in the Potteries as Stoke City host Blackburn Rovers. Mark Robins Potters have won just three of their last 15 league games, whereas Rovers have now gone four games unbeaten under new boss Michael O'Neill. What will be our prediction for what promises to be a hard fought match between the two?
The current Championship table sees Stoke City occupying 13th spot with 54 points from their 41 games. They are well outside the playoffs, 12 behind Southampton in sixth, but also 13 points clear of the relegation zone. Blackburn lie 19th in the table but now have 47 points from their 41 games played, six clear of the relegation spots.
Stoke's recent problems have all come away from home as their recent results show. The Potters were 3-1 winners over Watford at home, but then lost 3-1 away at Preston. Over Easter, they defeated Sheff Wed 2-0 at home, but then lost 2-0 at Derby on Easter Monday.
Blackburn have become difficult to beat in their last four games, starting with a superb 2-1 away win over Millwall. Rovers then drew 0-0 at home with Middlesbrough. Over Easter, Blackburn landed a 1-0 away win over Birmingham and then drew 0-0 at home with West Brom.

Our Stoke vs Blackburn Prediction
Our prediction for the Stoke City vs. Blackburn Rovers Championship match is: A Draw.
Both of these two teams come into this game in relatively decent unbeaten form and neither will want to see that run end. Stoke's promising start evaporated midway through the season, but Blackburn's poor start has been alleviated by better recent form which has moved them out of the drop zone. Rovers have more need for the points here and their recent form suggests they can get something from this game, but with Stoke unbeaten in five at home, a draw is the option to back.
