Valerien Ismael and Blackburn face a Championship relegation battle after seven games without a victory.
  • Blackburn are a point above the drop zone after losing 3-0 at Charlton

  • Swansea drew at home with Millwall on Saturday and are 13th in the table

  • Recommended bet: Draw

Blackburn host Swansea City in the Championship on Tuesday night still searching for their first home win of the season.

Rovers were leading Ipswich at Ewood Park two weeks ago, only for the match to be abandoned due to heavy rainfall and so the wait has continued into late September.

The Swans, meanwhile, are yet to win in the Championship this month, having been held by Millwall on Saturday.

However, Alan Sheehan's side will have taken huge confidence from the late League Cup triumph over Premier League Nottingham Forest.

Team news

Blackburn will assess Ryan Alebiosu after the right-back limped off in the weekend's 3-0 defeat at Charlton.

Rovers trio Hayden Carter, Moussa Baradji and Jake Garrett are also sidelined this week, while Adam Forshaw continues his return to fitness.

Jay Fulton has returned to training and was an unused substitute against Millwall.

Ishe Samuels-Smith was not risked either after struggling with a groin complaint and will be assessed.

The stats

Blackburn have lost only two of their previous 24 home league games against Swansea (winning 17 and drawing five), losing 2-1 in 1971-72 and 1-0 in 2023-24.

Swansea have won three of their past four Championship matches against Blackburn.

Blackburn have lost both of their past two home games in the league, last losing three in a row in March 2019.

Rovers have only lost their opening three at home in a league campaign in 1956-57 and 1996-97.

Swansea have lost three of their last four away league matches (beating Sheffield Wednesday), failing to score in all three defeats.

Prediction

Blackburn will have been buoyed by the fact they were leading Ipswich at Ewood Park before the game was abandoned two weeks ago but Saturday's 3-0 hammering at Charlton will have dented belief.

Rovers' home form has been disappointing though Tuesday night's opponents, Swansea, offer a real chance of recording first Ewood Park victory of the campaign.

The Swans have lost three of their last four games on the road and failed to score in each match.

Blackburn have kept clean sheets against Hull and Watford but are yet to record a shutout at home and so Sheehan's side will be eyeing an opportunity to improve their scoring when playing away.

Rovers themselves have found the back of the net just once in the last three games but will be hoping that playing on home soil finally proves advantageous.

Swansea have drawn with Watford, Hull and Millwall already this season and may have to settle for a point at Blackburn on Tuesday in what could prove to be a tight affair in Lancashire.
