The Riversiders will fight for three points against Preston North End in the EFL Championship.

Blackburn Rovers are ready and all set to host Preston North End in their next English League Championship 2024-25 outing. The Riversiders will look to continue their decent form and earn three more points. The Lilywhites are not having the best of the seasons and are sitting in the bottom half of the table. It will be a difficult outing for the visitors.

Blackburn Rovers have 12 wins in the league this season but they fell prey to Bristol City in their last league match. Andreas Weimann was the only goal scorer for the Riversiders but it was not enough. The coming EFL Championship match is a crucial one for the hosts as more than half of the season is over and they will be wanting to finish in the top five at least.

Preston North End have been able to secure eight wins in 29 matches in the league so far. The Lilywhites will be confident for their upcoming game as they are on a two-match winning streak in the league. Preston North End defeated Middlesbrough in their last EFL Championship match.

Kick-off:

Saturday, February 1, 01:30 AM IST

Location: Ewood Park, Blackburn, England

Form:

Blackburn Rovers: W-W-L-L-L

Preston North End: D-W-D-W-W

Players to Watch

Andreas Weimann (Blackburn Rovers)

The Austrian is a flexible player who can play as a forward and also as an attacking midfielder when needed. Andreas Weimann scored the only goal for his side but failed to lead his side to a win. Weimann can be very dangerous for the opponents and Blackburn Rovers will make sure the Austrian starts for them.

Emil Riis Jakobsen (Preston North End)

Emil Riis Jakobsen has been able to bag eight goals and has also helped his team by providing a couple of assists as well. The Danish forward can come out on top once again for the Lilywhites. Preston North End will be keen on making him the first-choice forward against the Riversiders.
