THE PREDICTION

Despite Blackburn’s large injury list, Tony Mowbray’s side continue to rise up the Championship table, having won four of their last five league games. Here they face arguably their toughest task yet as they travel to Brentford, who are unbeaten in their last eight matches. With both sides in such good form, this should lead to an entertaining encounter between two teams who prioritise attack over defence. With the two top strikers in the division going head-to-head in Ivan Toney and Adam Armstrong, both teams to score looks very much on the cards in this match.
