Burnley News
For Burnley, Jordan Beyer, Aaron Ramsey, Enock Agyei, Manuel Benson, Nathan Redmond, and Mike Tresor are all unavailable due to injuries.
Hannibal Mejbri will also miss out as he serves a suspension following his red card in the recent draw with Stoke City. Bashir Humphreys, Josh Laurent, and Zian Flemming could feature after being rested in the last match.
Blackburn have struggled for consistency, failing to win any of their last four matches, with two draws and two defeats.
Rovers boast the sixth-best home record in the Championship, with 23 points from 12 games. Defensively, Blackburn’s matches have been low-scoring affairs, with under 2.5 goals in 13 of their last 15 fixtures and both teams scoring in just three of those.
Burnley’s strength lies in their defensive solidity, as they hold the league’s best defensive record with just nine goals conceded and an unmatched 16 clean sheets.
The Clarets have been dominant on the road, securing a league-best 25 points, and their matches have also seen less than three goals in 12 of their last 13 away outings.
Derbies are often hard to call, and this one promises to be no different. Blackburn’s strong home form meets Burnley’s formidable away record, making this a finely balanced encounter.
Burnley’s defensive resilience will likely make it difficult for Blackburn, who failed to find the net in their last home game, to break through.
Given both teams’ recent tendencies for low-scoring matches, this clash is poised to be a cagey affair.
Expect a tight game with fewer than three goals, a trend that has been consistent in five of the last six meetings between these two sides.
A goalless or narrow win for Burnley seems the most probable outcome, as they look to maintain their pursuit of the Championship summit.
