Blackburn Rovers form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Blackburn Rovers's two home games in the Championship so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Ewood Park.

Blackburn travelled for their previous game, a trip to Middlesbrough that ended 1-1. Attacking player Sam Gallagher bested all teammates in that game and got a match rating of 7.25 out of 10. Gallagher scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Ahead of that match, Blackburn lost 1-2 at home to West Bromwich Albion.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Blackburn Rovers have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 16 games) they have won eight times, drawn five and lost three.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Blackburn Rovers as they have a new game in only three days, a Championship match thankfully also at home. Hull City are visiting.

Blackburn Rovers has scored 3 goals so far and conceded 3 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Luton Town form and stats

Luton Town are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Championship, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).

A. Bell was the last player to score for the away team. Luton haven't scored a league goal in the last 266 minutes.

Luton Town's last game was the home draw against Sheffield United (0-0). Reece Burke was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.83. The defender Burke won 6 of 6 duels.

A 0-5 loss hosting Birmingham City before that.

We have checked recent matches where Luton Town have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those ten games were two victories, one draw and seven defeats.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Championship trip to Bristol City.

It's early days yet, but Luton Town has scored 3 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last five meetings between these two sides are: two wins for Blackburn, one draw and two wins for Luton Town. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: two games.
