The upcoming match between Stoke City and Blackburn Rovers is shaping up to be an interesting one, with both teams in need of three points after suffering defeats in their previous outings.
Looking at the recent head-to-head record between the two teams, it suggests that we can expect a low-scoring game. However, based on current form, the away team seems to have the upper hand. Blackburn Rovers have been playing well both at home and on the road, while Stoke City have been struggling defensively, especially at home.
Despite the away team's defensive woes on the road, they have historically found it difficult to score against Mark Robins' team. This could give Stoke City an edge in the match, especially if they can capitalize on their opponent's defensive vulnerabilities.
In terms of goal-scoring, Stoke City have been averaging 1 goal per game this season, while Blackburn Rovers have been slightly more prolific with an average of 1.1 goals per game under Valérien Ismaël's guidance. This suggests that Blackburn Rovers may have a slight advantage in front of goal.
The previous encounters between the two teams have seen Stoke City emerge victorious on three occasions, with Blackburn Rovers securing two wins and no draws. This adds an element of unpredictability to the upcoming match, as both teams will be eager to secure a positive result.
