A big win against Fulham in the last 16 of the EFL Cup after a better penalty shootout could mean a lot psychologically for the Preston players. It's not every day that a Premier League club gets eliminated, and they could certainly play in the Championship with much more confidence. After 5 played rounds with 4 points, Preston is only one position above the danger zone and they will need a lot of extra effort to get out of that uncomfortable position.
Taking into account the first 5 rounds and what was seen in them, Blackburn could be one of the competitors for promotion. With 3 wins and 2 draws, this team is in 3rd place behind West Brom and Sunderland. Last season they finished deep in the second half of the table, but the large number of warm-up matches played against strong rivals and the activity in the transfer window clearly suggest how seriously Blackburn took this season.
Preston vs Blackburn pick: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
A chronic problem for Preston this season in the Championship is inefficiency and only 3 goals scored in 5 matches speaks in favor of that claim. This is a good chance for the home team to score. As already mentioned, the victory in the EFL Cup can give wings and lift, however, Blackburn is a serious team with ambitions in the Championship. In a total of 5 of the last direct duels and 8 out of 9 at this stadium, the matches ended with each team scoring at least 1 goal. We expect something similar here.
