History of the Blackburn Rovers v Everton fixture

Blackburn R. prepare to entertain Everton at Ewood Park on Saturday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Rovers are clearly on top, winning 55.88% of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Ewood Park was just last season, in November 2003, the Rovers carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Premiership match.

Recent respective form guides

Blackburn Rovers will be hoping to improve on their poor home form, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. While Rovers have scored 10, a worringly large 15 have been leaked at the other end.

Everton's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occassions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. A generous 7 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Blackburn R. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Barclays Premiership with a return of just 14 points from their 17 games thus far. Everton sit in a healthy 2nd in the league, and have picked up 36 points from their 17 games.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for the Rovers at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Blues come away with an easy victory. Away win
