Match Facts

Blackburn Rovers are unbeaten in their last three away league matches against Preston North End (W2 D1) since a 3-2 defeat in October 2019.
Preston North End have won two of their last three league games against fellow Lancashire sides (D1), as many as they had in their previous eight combined (W2 D1 L5).
Blackburn Rovers have lost seven of their last 10 league games (W1 D2), with their only win in that time coming at home to Stoke in John Eustace’s first game in charge.
Blackburn have lost their last six away league games. Rovers last had a longer away losing run between March and October 2009 (10 in the Premier League).
