Recent respective form guides
Blackburn Rovers's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Rovers have scored 5, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
The away form of Sunderland is pretty dire, losing every single one of the last six matches played! While the The Black Cats have hit 5 goals, 18 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Blackburn R.'s 30 points from 20 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 9th position. Sunderland are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 17 points from 20 matches.
