Blackburn Rovers will host Plymouth Argyle at Ewood Park on Saturday in another round of the 2024-25 EFL Championship campaign. The hosts will look to get a win and build on the momentum of their impressive mid-week win.
Blackburn pulled off a clinical 2-0 victory away at West Brom on Wednesday to move up to fifth position in the league table. The hosts had lost four of their previous five league games and will hope their midweek result will spur them back into form heading into the final months of the season.
Plymouth Argyle go into the weekend high on confidence after battering Millwall 5-1 during the week to make it three consecutive wins across all competitions. The visitors have spent the majority of the season in the relegation zone but could end the matchday outside of it for the first time in months with a win on Saturday.
Trending
The Pilgrims seem to have found a new lease of life under newly hired manager Miron Muslic and are currently unbeaten in their last three league games, two of which were against teams in the top six.
