West Bromwich Albion take on the visitors Blackburn in the round 32 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Wednesday, February 15th at The Hawthorns (West Bromwich).
West Bromwich this season takes points at the expense of their defense. Still, the numbers for the team, which so far does not even get into the playoff zone, are very worthy. Recently, West Bromwich have become exclusively a home team, which is surprising, because at the start of the season everything was the other way around. Now the team has seven consecutive wins at home with clean sheets. But don't be in such a hurry to bet on the hosts. In recent meetings, their football is simply disappointing. From the FA Cup they flew out without a chance, losing to Bristol City. In the last round of the championship, a loss without scored goals to Birmingham. At the same time, one of the weakest teams in the Championship did not allow the opponent to inflict more than one shot on target.

Blackburn Rovers do not look as an underdog of the match at all. At least the team loses very rarely lately. Blackburn have now drawn five games in a row. At the same time, Thomasson's wards in the last match almost defeated Watford. In fact, one of the favorites of the season could not crush the opponent. Rovers defense looked very compact. Rovers can be frankly difficult opponent in away matches, but at least the style of play in the last rounds has changed, this has led to a change in the results. There are only a few major defeats, and then the rivals were more than strong.
In the reverse fixture, Blackburn was able to beat the opponent at home. Oddly enough, Rovers have only been beaten once in their last five meetings at West Bromwich. At the same time, the visitors have good news: Ayala can finally return. There are fewer and fewer people on the injury list. But Albion immediately had four losses of key footballers. In recent home matches, West Bromwich were good enough, but in general, their football in the recent rounds of the championship was not impressive, even with outsiders there were complete failures in defense. At the level of the middle peasants, Rovers will definitely play today, and this will obviously not lead to a crushing defeat. In principle, Blackburn concede very few goals recently.
Prediction for the match: Blackburn Rovers to win with +1.0 handicap.
