Blackburn Rovers hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 11 points and a 17th position in the Championship table. Visiting Queens Park Rangers holds 16th place with 13 pts.
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 Queens Park Rangers.
Blackburn Rovers form and stats
The story so far in the Championship for Blackburn Rovers, who have the most scored goals (18) in Championship, at their home stadium (Ewood Park) is 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats.
A. Armstrong was the last player to score a league goal for Blackburn Rovers and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Blackburn Rovers haven't scored in 204 minutes.
The spoils were shared in Blackburn's previous game, also at home. Visiting Middlesbrough (placed 6th) travelled back with a draw after a 0-0 scoreline. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Swansea City.
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 have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won four times, drawn three and lost two.
Blackburn are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 5 games. Blackburn have conceded 5 in these home matches.
Queens Park Rangers form and stats
As the visiting team in Championship matches, Queens Park Rangers have produced an overall stat of 1-2-2 so far.
It's the second away game in a row for QPR, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Derby County (placed 23rd) in the Championship last time out. Prior to that match, a home win 3-2 against Cardiff City.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager M. Warburton when Macauley Bonne scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 60th minute.
We have checked recent matches where QPR have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 16 games were six victories, five draws and five defeats.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Queens Park Rangers as they have only managed to score 4 times from 5 away games in the league. QPR have conceded 7 goals in these away matches.
