Recent form

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, experiencing a run of three consecutive defeats in the Championship before bouncing back with a crucial away win against West Brom. The team's inconsistency is evident in their last six matches, where they've managed two wins and four losses, with no draws. Defensively, Rovers have struggled, conceding nine goals in six games and keeping just one clean sheet. Their goal-scoring record has been modest, averaging one goal per game. Interestingly, half of their recent matches have seen both teams score, and there's an even split between games going over and under 2.5 goals. Despite their recent struggles, Blackburn's 5th position in the league table suggests they've performed well overall this season, though they'll be keen to improve their form to maintain their promotion push.

Plymouth Argyle

Plymouth Argyle have shown a remarkable turnaround in form, winning their last three matches across all competitions after a difficult spell. The Pilgrims are currently on their best run of the season, which includes an impressive FA Cup victory over Premier League giants Liverpool. Their most recent outing was a high-scoring affair, thrashing Millwall 5-1 in the Championship. This resurgence is particularly noteworthy given their precarious 23rd position in the league table. Despite their recent success, Argyle's defensive frailties are evident in their statistics, having conceded 10 goals in their last six matches, including a 5-0 drubbing by Burnley. However, their attacking prowess has also improved, with 10 goals scored in the same period, resulting in 67% of their recent matches featuring over 2.5 goals.

Recent home/away form

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers have been struggling for consistency at home, with their recent form showing a concerning pattern of alternating wins and losses. The team have managed just two victories in their last six home matches, failing to score in four of these games. Notably, Rovers are currently on a run of three consecutive home matches where they've failed to find the back of the net, including a 2-0 FA Cup defeat to Wolves. Their most impressive home performance came in a 3-0 victory over Portsmouth, which stands out as the highest-scoring game in this stretch. Defensively, Blackburn have kept only one clean sheet in their last six home fixtures, conceding at least one goal in five of these matches. The statistics reveal a tendency towards low-scoring affairs, with 67% of their recent home games featuring under 2.5 goals.

The Pilgrims have struggled to find the back of the net, scoring only three goals in their last six away matches, with an average of just 0.5 goals per game. Defensively, they've been vulnerable, conceding 10 goals during this period, including a heavy 4-0 defeat to Coventry City. However, there are some positives to note, as Plymouth have managed two clean sheets in their last six away games, and their most recent outings have shown promise with a win against Brentford in the FA Cup and a draw against Sunderland. The majority of their away matches (67%) have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting tight, low-scoring affairs are common for the team on the road.
