Blackburn-Reading Statistical Preview

Probable Lineups

Team News

Blackburn

• Rovers are sweating over the fitness of Jordan Rhodes who pulled out of international duty this week.
• Rubén Rochina and Paul Robinson remain sidelined with injury.

Reading

• Reading could be unchanged from their draw with QPR last time out.
• Royston Drenthe, Jason Roberts, Mikele Leigertwood and Danny Williams are all doubtful while Jem Karacan and Wayne Bridge definitely out.

Match Facts

• There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 10 of Blackburn’s last 12 home games in Championship.

Prediction

• Blackburn have been impressive at home this season, winning four times but goals are hard to come by for Rovers.
• Top scorer Jordan Rhodes is hoping to be fit after being cleared of a long term knee injury.
• Reading are still in the play off places despite one win from their last six games.
• The Royals have won just twice on the road this season but they could capitalise on an indifferent Blackburn side at Ewood Park.
