Blackburn host Brentford at the Ewood Park (Blackburn) in the 36th round of the Championship and the match kicks off at 7.45 pm (UK) on Friday, March 12. Read our reasons for Blackburn vs Brentford prediction and betting tips.
Neither flirting with the promotion or relegation places, Blackburn appear stuck in a rut after losing six of their last ten Championship matches (W2, D2). Each loss came by a slim one-goal margin, but Blackburn may be beginning to turn a corner after scoring first and going unbeaten in their last two matches (W1, D1) as they remain in 14th place. After an away defeat to Championship leaders Norwich on March 3, Brentford trail the leaders by 13 points with a game in hand. The Bees were supposed to host Rotherham next but that fixture was postponed due to a COVID-19 outbreak in the Millers’squad. Instead, the Bees travel to Blackburn, looking to avoid back-to-back defeats.
Rovers’ season unraveled in their seven-game winless run, but their togetherness and belief didn’t. Tony Mowbray has continued to stress as much in a period that saw Rovers collect just two points from a possible 24 and in doing so saw any prospective play-off hopes end. However, the question mark wasn’t whether Rovers could produce such a performance as the one which saw them earn their sole victory since January, it is why we haven’t seen it more regularly.
The win against Millwall last week halted the slump and put smiles back on faces - things not to be sniffed at heading into an Ewood triple header, and fixtures against three promotion candidates before the international break. After losing six from seven, a draw against promotion candidates Swansea on Tuesday night was welcome, but the hosts will be left to reflect on a frustrating evening when they produced more than enough chances to earn all three points, even though they maintained an unbeaten run against Swansea at Ewood Park going back 50 years.
A single goal handed Brentford a defeat against Norwich in midweek and made the race behind the pace-setters very tight. Brentford still occupy second place but are only three points behind second-placed Watford and two points worse off Swansea in third, who have two games in hand over most nearby teams. Reading and Barnsley are in the final play-off places, three and six points behind the Bees respectively, with Bournemouth and Cardiff a little further back.
At Carrow Road, Brentford were slow to pass the ball around and looked quite a way short of the team that probably deserved to win the reverse fixture back in the autumn. Ivan Toney, for all his undoubted prowess in front of goal, was reduced to a couple of half-chances. The performance was good enough to win a lot of games, but if you want to win against the top team, you need to be better than Brentford were in midweek. The Bees didn’t hit a high enough level, and in a tight game like this, the margins are so small.

Blackburn meet Brentford having previously won 11 of their 15 home league matches against the Bees (D2 L2), winning their last three in a row. The reverse fixture in December saw the teams share the spoils in London (2-2) which left Brentford with only one league win in nine against Blackburn.
Blackburn have won four points in their last two games, after picking up just one point from a possible 21 beforehand. On the other hand, after losing just three of their opening 28 league matches this season, Brentford have lost four of their last six in the Championship (W2).

Tucker grew up in London, more precisely in West London. But, unlike many locals, he doesn’t like big and famous teams from that part of the city. Instead, ever since he was a kid, Tucker was passionate for lower divisions. This passion was born when his uncle from Reading took him to the local derby with Aldershot Town when he was 6 and since that moment football was running through his veins. He became a huge fan of the Royals for life, and whenever he could, he goes to Madejski Stadium to enjoy the game. Apart from being a job, his sports knowledge also becomes more than useful when he is betting live on high stakes which is also his passion.
