Blackburn claimed their first win of the season at Hull last time out
Norwich have lost their last two matches, conceding five goals in the process
Recommended bet: Blackburn to win and over 2.5 goals
Both Blackburn and Norwich have made poor starts to the campaign but it is Rovers that head into Saturday’s meeting at Ewood Park with a little momentum.
Valerian Ismael’s team put in a fantastic display to run out 3-0 winners away to Hull last time out and provide a blueprint for how they aim to play for the remainder of the season.
For Norwich, defeat at home to Middlesbrough was followed by losing in the Carabao Cup to Southampton, and they head into this clash with just one league win to their name so far this term.

Team News
Norwich made nine changes from the defeat to Middlesbrough for the cup game against Southampton. However, the starters against the Saints did little to push their cause for a place in the league XI, going down to a heavy defeat.
Jack Stacey remains sidelined following concussion protocols after a heavy blow against Boro and Jacob Wright is suspended for this clash following his red card in the same match.
Liam Gibbs continued his return from injury against Southampton, but a second start in five days is likely to be too much for the midfielder.
Moussa Baradji’s loan signing has gone through and the Malian is available for Blackburn should Ismael wish to change things from the 3-0 win.
Blackburn have also brought in Japanese international Ryoya Morishita, who could be in line for his debut this weekend as well.
On the injury front, there is a slight doubt over Sidnei Tavares, but the midfielder is expected to recover in time for the visit of Norwich, while Adam Forshaw looks set to miss out once more.

Prediction
Two teams in need of a win go head-to-head at Ewood Park this Saturday, with Rovers just edging it as favourites due to home advantage and their impressive 3-0 win last time out.
Norwich have lost their last two matches and were at the disadvantage of having a midweek League Cup tie eating into their preparation time.
Neither side have looked strong at the back in recent weeks, but both have been capable of hitting the back of the net.
While Blackburn appear the stronger of the sides, a home win and over 2.5 goals looks an appealing option.
