5-6-7 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Blackburn Rovers in their Championship matches away. Blackburn Rovers has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Wharton, Gallagher and Dolan scored in Blackburn's previous match, the home game against Derby County that ended 3-1. Wharton was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.5. The defender Wharton scored one goal and won 6 of 9 duels.

A 0-1 loss hosting Bristol City before that.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Blackburn Rovers as they have only managed to score 14 times from 18 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. It's not easy to score on Blackburn Rovers as they have only conceded 17 goals from these away games.
