Current streaks

Recent form

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with their last six games yielding two wins, two draws, and two losses. Despite this inconsistency, the team has managed to maintain a respectable 5th position in the Championship table with 38 points from 23 games. Defensively, Rovers have been relatively solid, conceding only 5 goals in their last 6 matches and keeping two clean sheets. However, their attacking output has been somewhat limited, scoring just 6 goals during this period. Interestingly, 83% of their recent matches have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards tighter, lower-scoring affairs. The team's ability to grind out results is evident in their back-to-back 1-0 and 2-0 victories against Sheffield Wednesday and Luton Town respectively, but they've struggled to maintain consistency, as shown by their subsequent two-match winless run.

Burnley

Burnley have been in impressive form recently, showcasing a strong defensive record with four clean sheets in their last six matches. The Clarets are currently enjoying an impressive 12-game unbeaten run, which has propelled them to third place in the Championship table. Their recent streak includes a trio of consecutive victories against Sheffield United, Watford, and Norwich, demonstrating their ability to grind out results. Notably, Burnley's defence has been particularly stingy, conceding only two goals in their last six outings, resulting in an impressive average of just 0.33 goals conceded per game. While their attacking output has been modest, with six goals scored across these matches, their solid defensive foundation has been key to their success. The team's ability to keep matches low-scoring is evident, with 67% of their recent games featuring fewer than 2.5 goals.

Recent home/away form

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers have been struggling to find consistency at home, with their recent form showing a mixed bag of results. Despite their relatively high league position, their home performances have been underwhelming. The Rovers have managed only two wins in their last six home games, suffering three defeats and securing one draw. Notably, they endured a brief run of two consecutive losses against Sheffield United and Stoke City, both with identical 2-0 scorelines. Blackburn's goal-scoring form at Ewood Park has been particularly concerning, with the team failing to find the back of the net in three of their last six home matches. Defensively, they've kept two clean sheets during this period, but have also conceded seven goals. The majority of their recent home fixtures have been low-scoring affairs, with 83% of the games featuring under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards tighter, less entertaining matches for the home supporters.

Burnley

Burnley have been in impressive form away from home, showcasing a robust defensive record and consistent attacking prowess. The Clarets are currently on an unbeaten run of six away matches, with four wins and two draws. Their defensive solidity is particularly noteworthy, having conceded just one goal in these six games and keeping five clean sheets. Burnley's ability to grind out results is evident, with three consecutive 2-0 victories against Sheffield United, Norwich, and Stoke City. While there haven't been any particularly high-scoring matches, their consistent goal-scoring (seven goals in six games) combined with their miserly defence has been crucial to their success. The team's performance away from home has significantly contributed to their strong league position, sitting third with 48 points from 24 games.
