Blackburn take on the visitors Preston in the round 16 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Friday, November 10th at Ewood Park (Blackburn).
Blackburn are currently falling short of expectations. "The Rovers" have experienced a lot over the past decades, from a sensational championship at the start of the Premier League format to a drop to the third tier, League 1. After returning to the Championship and establishing themselves there, the club aimed for something greater, which led to the appointment of Thomassen last summer. Jon Dahl had proven himself as a coach in Malmo, but in Britain, he started with a seventh-place finish last season. Currently, his team has slid into the middle of the league table. However, they managed to secure a significant 3-1 victory away against Norwich.

Preston have a unique history, being the country's first champion and the first holder of the "golden double" in 1888-1889. Since then, their accomplishments have essentially been limited to the 1938 cup, and for decades, they have struggled to return to the top division of the country. Typically, they linger in the Championship, showing nothing exceptional, and were twelfth last season. The start of the current season was unexpected, with six consecutive wins after a draw in the first round against Bristol City. However, subsequent results included a 1-1 draw with Rotherham and alternating defeats and draws, causing the sensational leader to fall outside the top 6. Only after overcoming Coventry, despite a Wright double, did the club manage to re-enter the playoff zone.
In the previous season, Preston proved stronger with a resounding away victory and a draw at home. "The Rovers" are considered clear favorites at home. However, both they and their visitors awakened in the last round. We bet on "total over 2.5 goals."
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
