Blackburn Rovers 0-2 Middlesbrough

Current streaks

Recent form

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers are currently experiencing a concerning run of form, having failed to secure a victory in their last six matches. The team's recent performances have been particularly worrying, with five losses and only one draw during this period. Rovers are currently on a four-match losing streak, which has seen them slip to 11th position in the Championship table. Their defensive struggles are evident, having conceded 10 goals in the last six games whilst failing to keep a single clean sheet. At the other end of the pitch, Blackburn's attacking output has been lacklustre, managing to score just three goals during this period, averaging a mere 0.5 goals per game. The 3-0 defeat against Swansea stands out as their heaviest loss in recent matches, highlighting the team's current vulnerabilities. With both their winning and clean sheet droughts extending to six games, Blackburn Rovers will be eager to turn their fortunes around and regain their competitive edge in the Championship.

Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough have shown impressive form in their recent fixtures, winning four of their last six matches and losing only once. The Teesside club are currently on a three-match unbeaten run, which includes two consecutive victories. Their defensive record has been particularly noteworthy, conceding just four goals in six games and keeping two clean sheets. Middlesbrough's away form has been solid, with a win and a draw in their last two away fixtures. The standout result in this period was their 3-1 victory over Stoke City, which was their highest-scoring game in the recent run. With 57 points from 39 games and sitting in 7th position, Middlesbrough are demonstrating consistency in their push for a playoff spot in the Championship.

Recent home/away form

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers' recent home form has been inconsistent, with two wins, one draw, and three losses in their last six matches at Ewood Park. The team have struggled to maintain a consistent run of results, alternating between wins and losses in their most recent five home fixtures. Defensively, Rovers have been vulnerable, conceding in five of the six games and keeping only one clean sheet. Their attacking output has been modest, scoring an average of one goal per game. Interestingly, 67% of these matches have seen fewer than 2.5 goals, suggesting a tendency towards lower-scoring affairs. Despite their mixed form, Blackburn have managed to secure 11th position in the Championship, accumulating 52 points from 39 games. However, their negative goal difference of -2 over the last six home matches indicates room for improvement in both attack and defence.

Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough's recent away form has been rather poor, with only one win in their last six matches on the road. The Teessiders have endured a challenging run, suffering three consecutive defeats before a much-needed victory against Stoke City. Their most recent away outing resulted in a goalless draw with Luton Town, which saw them keep their first clean sheet in this six-game stretch. Despite their struggles, Middlesbrough have managed to score in five of these six matches, averaging one goal per game. However, their defence has been leaky, conceding an average of 1.5 goals per match. The 3-1 win at Stoke stands out as their most impressive performance, being the highest-scoring game in this run. With 67% of their away matches seeing both teams score and over 2.5 goals, Middlesbrough's away fixtures have tended to be entertaining affairs, even if the results haven't always gone their way.
