West Bromwich Albion and Blackburn Rovers narrowly missed Championship playoff spots last season and will be embarking on another shot at promotion. The two will meet in the opening week of the second tier, and below we have a prediction of the match.
Hosts West Brom finished last season ninth, with 64 points, four adrift of the top six. After featuring in four friendly matches in preseason, the real business starts now.
The Baggies completed their schedule with a 3-2 win against Rayo and will be eyeing a winning start, as they play at home. In 23 home league matches last season, they won 11 and drew eight, accounting for 41 of their 64 points. They, however, lost at home to Blackburn.
Blackburn Rovers kept clean sheets, picking up four points in their two matches against West Brom last season. They will be looking to extend that, and a strong run in preseason will strengthen the belief that they can do this.
Of their five preseason matches, Blackburn scored in all, won four, and kept clean sheets in two. They wrapped up with a 3-1 loss to Dutch side NEC.
A strong finish last season wasn’t enough to deliver a playoff slot for Blackburn, who managed seventh place with 66 points. That was just two points outside the top six.
