Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match is the occurrence of several goals. Both Blackburn Rovers and Preston North End are known for playing an open game, creating multiple goal-scoring opportunities. It is worth noting that both teams have been neglecting their defensive duties in recent matches, focusing primarily on attacking. Therefore, betting on the "Over 2 Goals" market for this match seems like a good option.

In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Coventry City, by (0‑2). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Bristol City, by (2‑1). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 13 goals scored and 15 conceded; against 7 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 17 goals scored and 13 conceded. In the last 10 home league matches Blackburn has a record of 3 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses, so they have won 11 points out of 30 possible. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 0‑0 (6 out of 15 matches). They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 14 of their 29 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 15 home matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 5 of their 13 goals between minutes (46'‑60').

Blackburn Rovers comes into this match after a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Bristol City, with their only goal being scored by Andreas Weimann. The home team is likely to play in a 5-3-2 formation, aiming to exploit counter-attacks. The two forwards expected to lead the attack for the home side are Makhtar Gueye and Tyrhys Dolan. However, it is expected that Blackburn Rovers will adopt a more adventurous approach, especially given they have the support of their fans. The following players are unavailable for this match: Scott Wharton, Zak Gilsenan, Arnór Sigurdsson, Lewis Travis, Yuki Ohashi, Sondre Tronstad, and Callum Brittain, all due to injury problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Aynsley Pears, Danny Batth, Callum Brittain, Owen Beck, Dominic Hyam, John Buckley, Ryan Hedges, Lewis Travis, Tyrhys Dolan, Andreas Weimann, Makhtar Gueye.
Coach: V. Ismaël.

Analysis Preston

The away team is currently in the 14th position of the league, with 37 points won, after 8 wins, 13 draws and 8 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Watford, by (1‑2). In the last match, they won in a home match against Middlesbrough, by (2‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 19 goals scored and 23 conceded; against 6 wins, 7 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 19 goals scored and 15 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Preston has a record of 2 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses, so they have won 11 points out of 30 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 29 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Preston North End comes into this match after a 2-1 victory over Middlesbrough, with goals scored by Stefán Teitur Thórdarson and Emil Riis. The away team is likely to play in a 3-5-2 formation, aiming to use the flanks to build their offensive plays. In this setup, the two forwards expected to lead the attack are Milutin Osmajic and Mads Frøkjaer-Jensen. When launching their attacks, they usually do so through the right wing, making use of the depth provided by right-back Kaine Kesler-Hayden. Brad Potts is unavailable for this match due to injury problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Freddie Woodman, Andrew Hughes, Jordan Storey, Lewis Gibson, Jayden Meghoma, Kaine Kessler, Alistair McCann, Mads Frokjaer-Jensen, Ryan Ledson, Sam Greenwood, Emil Riis.
