Blackburn vs Middlesbrough – Prediction, and Match Preview
Blackburn vs Middlesbrough – On Saturday afternoon at Ewood Park, Blackburn will host Middlesbrough in the Championship’s sixth round.
Before the international break, both teams suffered heartbreaking losses. While Middlesbrough continued their terrible start to the new season with a 0-2 home loss to Queens Park Rangers, Blackburn lost 3-0 at newly promoted Plymouth Argyle.
With three goals scored in five games, Boro has the league’s lowest offensive record, as well as the joint-worst defensive record with 11 goals conceded so far this season.
The guests, who participated in the promotional playoffs in May of this year, are sitting at the bottom of the Championship table with just one point after five games.
They have allowed seven goals in two league away games this season. Before the match against Blackburn Rovers, whose attacking unit has been on a respectable level at the beginning of the season, this is by no means a promising trend.
Blackburn played seven games in all categories this season, and all but one of those games included three or more goals, including an 0-8 thrashing of lower-division Harrogate Town in the League Cup match that took place in late August.
