Blackburn Rovers welcome the visitors Middlesbrough in the English Championship – Round 33. The match will be held on Sunday, February, 17th, at the Ewood Park (Blackburn).
On their turf, Blackburn Rovers can confront any side. Indeed, their three consecutive losses have decreased their chances to get to the play-off zone, but two of those were out. At home, Tony Mowbray’s troops have conceded just thrice; in the Championship, only leaders lose like this. At the Ewood Park, Blackburn Rovers defeated Norwich City, Leeds United, and Sheffield Wednesday. In our view, after the recent fails, the hosts will be motivated enough to win the visiting Middlesbrough, or gain one point at least.

The guests look to secure the sixth line as a minimum, but they are among the best Championship draw-specialists. Middlesbrough are least leaking in the league, which is not surprising as they concentrate on defense. This is an underscoring team who don’t rush forward and prevent others from doing so. They score, then they shut out. Interestingly though, this tactics bring results. The ‘Boro’ suffer almost no loss, while they don’t boast many wins – in seven latest rounds, they were victorious just once, in the goal-fest clash with West Bromwich Albion.
Six of seven previous opponents’ head-to-heads ended level. Middlesbrough have been failing to surpass Blackburn since 2014; they won’t move forward – the hosts are very dangerous in their stadium. An underscoring stalemate would be a logical outcome tomorrow. Tony Pulis’ men would better attain one point than lose all three.
Prediction for the match: Blackburn Rovers to win or Draw.
