The pressure on Rotherham manager Matt Taylor has grown as a result of the club’s seven-game losing streak across all competitions. They could fall into the relegation zone if they lose again. Blackburn, on the other hand, is chasing promotion and has a different plan because they are firmly in the playoff race, despite the fact that their recent poor form makes automatic promotion unlikely.
However, the Lancashire group will be optimistic about their chances of landing the job. With goals coming from both ends, Blackburn should win by a small margin.
Prediction: Rotherham United 1-2 Blackburn Rovers
There have been 47 meetings between the two teams, with Blackburn winning 26-12. Ben Brereton scored twice in Blackburn’s 3-0 home victory in their most recent meeting in October 2022. In their last 12 league games against Blackburn, Rotherham has won just one and lost seven.
After 26 games, Blackburn is the only Championship team without a draw this season. In each of Rotherham’s 12 league games played at home this season, at least one goal was scored in the first half. They have lost three of their last four games at Rotherham.
