Blackburn Rovers hosts Stoke City in round 35 of the English Championship. The match will be played on Wednesday, February 26th at Ewood Park (Blackburn)
Blackburn showed very good results in recent matches. In the last eight games, it lost only once and gained four victories. Thanks to such agility, the team climbed to the eighth line. And the Rovers lag only five points behind the playoff zone. There are 12 more rounds to play in the championship, and it is quite real to win back such a margin. And Blackburn is not bad at scoring - there are 50 goals scored after 34 rounds. But there are enough problems in defense. Opponents have already scored 40 goals to the net of the Rovers.

After the recession, when Stoke City lost in three of four matches, it beat Cardiff in the last round. However, the team still balances near the relegation zone - it takes 19th place and has only a 3-point margin from three outsiders. At the same time, the Potters have a good attacking line - 43 goals scored.
I have already mentioned the fact that Blackburn conceded 40 goals. I’ll add that the Potters, despite their modest place in the standings, do not pay attention to the status of the opponent and score almost everyone in a row. In 10 of the last 15 matches, they did not leave the field without a goal scored. Blackburn is also on this list. Yes, Stoke lost to it on the home pitch, but it scored a goal. I’m not saying that the visitors will manage to earn at least a point (although you never know, Stoke plays quite confidently against Blackburn and has seven victories in the last 13 games), but there is a confidence that they will score.
Prediction for the match: Stoke City to score over 0.5 goals
