Blackburn v Luton

Blackburn vs Luton Preview

Blackburn Rovers will be going in search of a sixth league win on the trot in the Championship on Saturday afternoon when they play host to lower half outfit Luton Town with John Eustace's side currently sitting in fifth place in the English second tier table.

Luton Town registered an important and most welcome 2-1 home win against Stoke City in midweek which helped lift The Hatters up into 15th place in the Championship standings but the visitors face the tough task of halting Blackburn Rovers' impressive winning momentum at Ewood Park on Saturday.

Blackburn Rovers are currently enjoying a purple patch of form in the domestic second tier having won their last five games on the trot which consists of victories gained over Cardiff City, Middlesbrough, Leeds United, Hull City and Sheffield Wednesday respectively.

Rovers had previously endured a rather sticky patch of results in the Championship as Eustace's side had collected just the single win from their preceding seven matches, that being a 1-0 home win against Swansea City, but also being dealt five defeats in the process.

However, the bigger picture shows Blackburn Rovers have lost just twice in their last 10 home games in the Championship, picking up six wins within this period as well. Luton Town registered a much-needed 2-1 home win against Stoke City during the week which in turn has given The Hatters a bit of breathing space between themselves and the bottom three clubs as Rob Edwards' side now possess a useful five-point cushion above the relegation zone.

Despite picking up back-to-back wins earlier in the campaign by way of victories gained over the likes of Millwall and Sheffield Wednesday though, league wins have been hard to come by for the former Premier League side as Luton Town have collected just a further four wins from their subsequent 14 league matches.

In addition, it is worth noting that each of these subsequent four wins were all achieved on home soil at their Kenilworth Road ground while results away from home have been very poor indeed by comparison.

In fact Luton Town have managed to pick up just one away win all season so far in the Championship which came in the form of a 1-0 win away at Millwall but having also suffered seven defeats within their nine outings on the road so far in this campaign, The Hatters look to have their work cut out up in Lancashire on Saturday afternoon.

Blackburn Rovers v Luton Town Verdict

Blackburn Rovers have won their last five games on the trot, while Luton Town have lost their last six away games on the trot so there should be only one winner here at Ewood Park.
