Championship preview and odds: Blackburn Rovers vs Fulham

February 16, 2016 19:45pm - Ewood Park

Championship

Two teams in the lower reaches of the Championship table will jostle for position on Tuesday night, as 19th-ranked Blackburn Rovers take on a Fulham side just one place above them in the standings.

Rovers winless in nine

Blackburn Rovers have not won any of their last nine Championship matches and are in danger of being dragged into a relegation scrap.

Under the guidance of Paul Lambert, Rovers have performed well in the FA Cup and will soon face off against West Ham for a place in the last eight of that competition.

The northwest club come into this game on the back of a 0-2 defeat at home to league leaders Hull City. They have failed to win any of their last four games at home, having lost two and drawn two, scoring just a single goal in the process.

Fulham bag first win in five

Fulham secured an important three points away to QPR last time out, and will look to build on that success when they make the trip north to face struggling Blackburn.

The Londoners have been in poor form this season and not much has changed since they replaced their Coach back in December. In total, Slavia Jokanovic`s men they have won just two of their last 16 games, having drawn six and lost eight. On the road, they are unbeaten in two, having beaten QPR and drawn at Huddersfield.
