Blackburn Rovers vs Peterborough United previews for sports fans

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Blackburn Rovers and Peterborough United.

Blackburn Rovers form and stats

Blackburn Rovers have played 9 Championship games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-2-2 (wins-draws-losses).

Blackburn drew their last game, 1-1 away at Bristol City (placed 18th). Ben Brereton, who usually features in attack, was the declared top player for the side in that fixture, receiving a rating of 7.64 (out of 10). Brereton scored one goal, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

Before that, Blackburn had a home game versus Sheffield United which ended with a victory 3-1.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Blackburn matches with similar probabilities have ended with three wins, three draws and zero defeats (from six games).

There will be little rest for Blackburn Rovers after this match as they are travelling to Stoke City for a Championship game in only three days.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (19 in 9 games), Blackburn's attacking play is working. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Blackburn Rovers defense is not exactly impregnable. 16 goals conceded from 9 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Peterborough United form and stats

There's been little loot from Peterborough United's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 9 away games in the Championship. Peterborough United only have 1 win to counter their 8 defeats and 0 draws. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Peterborough United have lost on their last two travels.

Peterborough have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 186 minutes ago. J. Clarke-Harris was the goal scorer.

Peterborough United are travelling again after losing away to Stoke City in their previous match (0-2). Nathan Thompson, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.24. Thompson hit one key pass and won 6 of 8 duels.

Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Fulham.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Peterborough playing away, we found one game. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and one home win.

A quick return to home after this game, as Peterborough are hosting Barnsley in the Championship only three days away.

The visitors have scored 5 goals from 9 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Peterborough are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 5 goals in these matches.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last five meetings: four - zero - one (Blackburn wins - draws - Peterborough United wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), zero had two or less.
