Prediction

  • Blackburn were outshout 20-11 by Cardiff two weeks ago, but a brace from Andreas Weimann and a late goal from substitute Lewis Baker helped to seal an impressive 3-1 away win. That result was a critical one for John Eustace's side, ending a three-match losing streak and boosting Rovers up to ninth in the standings.
  • Portsmouth also claimed a statement victory in gameweek 15 as first-half goals from Josh Murphy and Connor Ogilvie set them on course for a 3-1 win against Preston. Pompey remain in the bottom three heading into Saturday's game, but they now sit above QPR, three points adrift from safety.
