Blackburn Rovers fought back to secure a 2-2 draw in their last game against Sunderland. Yuki Ohashi scored in the 13th minute before Sunderland scored two quick goals in the second half. However, Harry Leonard scored the equaliser in the 90th minute after just 4 minutes on the pitch.

Rovers are winless in their last two games after they had enjoyed a 6-game winning run before this challenge. They remain unbeaten in their last three home games to sit 5th on the table with 38 points in 22 games, scoring 27 goals and conceding 20. Meanwhile, Arnór Sigurdsson is out of this game due to a thigh injury, and Hayden Carter will also sit out due to knee surgery.

On the other hand, Blackburn Rovers have won six of their last eight games. So, I believe they will win this game and also keep a clean sheet due to the poor offensive side of Hull City.
