THE PREDICTION
Two wildly inconsistent sides lock horns here, with each harbouring playoff hopes but neither able to put together an extended unbeaten run which would push themselves into the top six. This makes it extremely difficult to predict the outcome of this match. However, as ever when two local rivals face off there is bound to be some nerves around and a cagey encounter could be in prospect. With Blackburn’s last six games in all competitions each ending with under 2.5 goals scored over the course of 90 minutes, the same outcome is expected here against Preston, who have also seen under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five fixtures.
