- Competition: Championship
- Date: 30th November 2024
- Kick-off: 13:30 UTC / 14:30 CET
- Venue: Ewood Park
Blackburn Rovers will be looking to register three consecutive wins for the first this season on Saturday afternoon when they welcome league leaders Leeds United to Ewood Park.
Having beaten Cardiff City 3-1 last weekend, Blackburn travelled to Middlesbrough in midweek hoping to build on that performance and they did just that. John Eustace's side went home with all three points after a narrow 1-0 win thanks to a second-half goal from centre-back Dominic Hyam. Another win this weekend could see the Blue and Whites move into the top six, but they will be concerned that they have lost their last two home games without scoring.
Leeds were just a few steps away from a return to the English top flight last season. The Whites were knocked out of the play-offs after finishing third, but they look set to make amends this term. Daniel Farke's side have only lost twice in the Championship this season and come into this weekend's game with plenty of confidence after winning their last three games by an aggregate score of 9:3.
Blackburn Rovers vs Leeds United Betting Tips: Draw & Under 2.5 goals
One of the major reasons Blackburn Rovers are not in the top six is their home form. The hosts bring a run of three games without a win at Ewood Park and failed to score in all three games. None of those games produced more than two goals.
Many see Leeds United as the favorites for a win of their run of three consecutive wins but the Whites are struggling away from Elland Road. They boast just one win from their last five games away from home and half of those encounters ended in draws.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
- Blackburn Rovers vs Leeds United prediction: 1-1

Blackburn Rovers team news
Amario Cozier-Duberry will be unavailable to Blackburn Rovers head coach John Eustace on Saturday due to injury.
Cozier-Duberry has missed the last eight games due to an ankle injury and the winger isn’t the only problem the Blue & Whites have at the moment.
Saturday’s game will also come too soon for the likes of Hayden Carter and Arnór Sigurdsson who are nursing knee and thigh injuries respectively.
