Blackburn Rovers and Norwich City square off at Ewood Park in round 40 of the EFL Championship on Friday (April 7). The Canaries will look to get one over the hosts, having suffered a 1-0 loss in the FA Cup in January.
With the season approaching its end, Blackburn appear to have run out of steam, as they fell to a 1-0 loss against Birmingham City last weekend. Jon Dahl Tomasson’s men have now lost three of their last four games, including a 3-2 defeat against Sheffield United in the FA Cup quarterfinals on March 19. With 61 points from 38 games, the Rovers are sixth in the Championship, four points and one place above Norwich.
Trending
Like the hosts, Norwich were left empty-handed last time out, as they fell to a 1-0 loss against Sheffield United. The Canaries are winless in four games, picking up two points from 12 available.
This dry spell has been owing to their lack of sting in attack, having scored just once in four outings since a 3-2 win over Millwall on March 4.
