Blackburn vs Swansea predictions: Solid Rovers to maintain home record
- Rovers have won all four home league home games
- Swansea have scored two goals in four away games
- Recommended bet: Blackburn to win
Blackburn have played four, won four at Ewood Park in the Championship this season and will be looking to make it five out of five against Swansea.
The Swans did the double over Rovers last term but Luke Williams' team are currently on a run of three without a win.
Team news
Right-back Callum Brittain should be available to Rovers' boss John Eustace after a month out. Owen Beck is ready to return after serving a three-match ban.
Swansea are without striker Eom Ji-Sung after the South Korean injured his knee on international duty.
The stats
Blackburn have won all four league home games this season.
They have scored 15 goals - only Sunderland and Norwich have bagged more.
With 28 cards (26 yellow, two red) received only Preston are a worst-behaved side in the second tier.
Swansea have conceded only six goals in the Championship this term, a record bettered only by Sheffield United and Burnley.
Seven of the Welsh side's nine matches in the league have produced two goals or less.
In all competitions, their last eight matches have yielded just 11 goals.
Prediction
Those who thought Blackburn would finally pay for continuing to sell their best goal-getters have been proved wrong.
The club that has sold Adam Armstrong, Ben Brereton and Sammie Szmodics in the last few years and were fancied to struggle because of it, are the division's third top scorers.
They've unearthed a gem in Yuki Ohashi though others are chipping in, and at Ewood Park where they are a winning machine, and against a Swansea side who struggle to create chances, the hosts can get.
John Eustace has transformed Blackburn who have not only got a 100 per cent record at home but have also taken points at another pair of fortresses, Norwich and Burnley.
They take their chances, which is in contrast to Swansea who don't make them in the first place.
The disconnect with the Swans is that they are averaging a shade under 60 per cent possession - second behind only Leeds - but fire off under 10 shots per game, ahead of only Preston.
They knock the ball around a treat, but without much of a goal threat and never is that more obvious away where they have failed to find the net in three of their four outings.
