Blackburn Rovers vs Leeds United Previews, Form and Standout Players

Can Leeds United stay top of the table as they take on a tough to beat Blackburn Rovers side who have started to turn their form around in recent weeks?

Blackburn Rovers Preview

Blackburn Rovers Predicted Line Up - Aynsley Alan William Pears; Harry Pickering, Danny Batth, Dominic Hyam, Callum Brittain; Lewis Travis, Sondre Tronstad; Ryan Hedges, Todd Cantwell, Tyrhys Dolan; Yuki Ohashi

Blackburn have won both of their previous two games leaving them in eighth place. Just two points off the top six. A win here potentially putting them in a playoff spot. Or at least taking them one step closer to that.

Blackburn interestingly haven’t got an amazing scoring record or defensive record really. They have scored 20 and conceded 17. It is their ability to find a way to win that truly sets them apart even when they don’t score goals. This something they will be hopeful to replicate here.

Leeds are on fire at the minute and are top of the league as it stands. This having picked up 35 points from 17. They will need to keep picking up key victories though if they are to maintain that place in the table. Wins against teams like Blackburn will be especially crucial.

Luckily for them they have scored more goals than any other team (31) while also conceding the joint fourth least in the league (12). This will put them in good stead for another strong victory in this match.
