Blackburn Rovers host Barnsley in round 25 of the English Championship. The match will be played on Wednesday, December 29th at Ewood Park (Blackburn)
Many misfortunes happened to Blackburn after it was relegated from the Premier League ten years ago. Rovers even ended up in the third football division of the country. But faith in Tony Mowbray and high-quality transfers once again bring the Blue-Whites back to the top. So far, they are performing very successfully in the Championship. They are steadily gaining points, and in recent matches, they dealt with their opponents quite confidently. It was Rovers who had the best December in the league — they didn’t lose a single point this month. Of course, Mowbray's men want to end the year with another victory.

Barnsley's regression over the year is colossal. In the previous season, this team fought for promotion to the Premier League, and now it can even leave the Championship. So far, everything hints at the fact that the Tykes will be relegated to League One, as they look too weak in the current season. There are no prerequisites for improving the position. Barnsley scores too little. Since the end of November, the Tykes have scored only two goals, and their defense can fail at any moment. At the moment, they are much weaker than their upcoming opponents, so they will probably play the next away match badly.
The Rovers have been flawless in defense lately and have not conceded in five games in a row. Even Bournemouth never managed to score against Blackburn at home. Naturally, one can count on another clean sheet performed by the Blue-Whites. Will they be able to upset the opponents’ goalkeeper? Looking at their current shape, it is difficult to doubt this. Blackburn is currently the best team in the Championship with 12 goals scored during the winning streak. At the same time, it was Rovers who scored more than the rest of the league clubs in home matches (28 goals in 12 games). Moreover, the Rovers scored at least twice in 75% of the matches at their stadium. Only the powerful Fulham managed to cope with their attack, but it happened largely due to the numerical advantage (Blackburn spent an hour with ten men). Therefore, it turns out that the hosts are clear favorites of the upcoming game. Barnsley, which has lost six of the last seven away games, is unlikely to hold back the onslaught of the motivated Rovers.
Prediction for the match: Blackburn to win
