Blackburn vs Derby County prediction, preview, team news and more | EFL Championship 2021-22

Blackburn host Derby County at Ewood Park in the EFL Championship on Tuesday, with both sides having contrasting seasons so far.

Blackburn have faltered of late and are currently 5th in the league. Tony Mowbray's side have only won two of their last ten games and will be looking to turn things around with a win against Derby on Tuesday.

Derby County, on the other hand, are 23rd in the league, five points away from safety. Wayne Rooney's side have only managed one win in their last five games and will be hoping to bounce back with a win against Blackburn on Tuesday.

Both sides will want to win the game and that should make for an interesting matchup.
