Insights:
  • Blackburn Rovers have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Brentford have the most scored goals (61) in Championship

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Championship match only three days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Swansea City, was also a home game here at Ewood Park. The away team is better rested.

Brentford form and stats

The visitors, who have the most scored goals (61) in Championship, are W8-D4-L5 on the road this term. That's in the Championship. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on T. Frank, the Brentford manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Brentford, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Norwich City (placed 1st). Before that, Brentford secured a home win against Stoke City with the score 2-1.

Brentford goalkeeper David Raya had a great day against Norwich City, but despite making six saves the loss could not be avoided.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Brentford manager T. Frank as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Derby County.

The travelling fans enjoy Brentford's attacking play in away games, having scored 27 goals in 17 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Brentford have seen the ball go into their own net 18 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

The last H2H meeting was Brentford - Blackburn Rovers 2-2, played this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Blackburn won five games, three matches ended with a draw and Brentford has two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: six / four
