Blackburn vs West Brom Prediction & Tips
The Championship is back! We’re off to Elwood Park for a clash of former Premier League sides: Blackburn vs West Bromwich. Like every year, both teams will be trying to make the playoffs to give themselves a chance of returning to the PL. To do this, Rovers will have to put aside their last warm-up match against Girona (a 3-2 defeat) and focus on all the good things they achieved in July, when they won 3 of their 4 games. What’s more, the blue-and-whites have the psychological advantage of having come out on top in the 2nd leg in mid-February. The goal for the Riversiders: to offer 90 minutes of happiness to fans waiting for a victory in the return to English D2.
Hopefully, the Baggies have woken up from the nightmare they find themselves in, otherwise Matchday 1 could simply turn sour. Indeed, WBA’s run of poor form this summer has seen them go 4 games without a win (2D-2N), so confidence appears to be at an all-time low for Nicolas Anelka’s former club. Quite simply, if Carlos Corberan’s men don’t find the magic formula during the off-season, no miracle is going to happen on the BRFC green rectangle.

Blackburn have not lost any of their last 3 meetings.
