Match Preview
Blackburn Rovers host Stoke City at Ewood Park in the Championship, with Tony Mowbray's side looking to bounce back after a heavy defeat and push back into play-off contention.
Blackburn arrive into this fixture on the back of a 4-0 loss to Swansea City, a result that halted the momentum they had built with wins over Wrexham and Bristol City. Before that Swansea setback, Rovers had shown real quality in attack, and their form across the wider five-game stretch underlines that they remain a threat going forward.
The story of Blackburn's season has been significantly shaped by Andri Gudjohnsen. The 24-year-old son of Icelandic great Eidur Gudjohnsen has been one of the Championship's most clinical finishers, scoring eight league goals from just 16 shots — a conversion rate that puts him among the most efficient strikers in European football this season.
Stoke arrive in better shape on paper, sitting inside the top half of the table and carrying confidence from a 2-0 win over Preston North End in their last outing. Mark Robins' side have lost just once in their last five Championship matches and have shown defensive solidity, keeping a clean sheet against Bristol City along the way.
The Potters' away form has been strong, with two wins and a draw from their last four road trips in the division. They will be looking to exploit any defensive vulnerabilities that Blackburn showed against Swansea.
Both managers will know the stakes. Blackburn are two points outside the play-off places and need a response after that Swansea thrashing. Stoke, sitting seventh, have a chance to consolidate their position and keep pace with the division's top six.
