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 7, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Tottenham's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The Spurs's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 8 goals for and 7 against.

Blackburn R. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 11 points from 13 matches. Tottenham see themselves just below half way in the Barclaycard Premiership, showing a record of 15 points from their 13 games played so far,
