Preston North End faces Blackburn Rovers in upcoming Championship fixture

Preston North End hosts Blackburn Rovers at 12:30 BST this Saturday in a Championship league match. Preston enters the fixture seeking its first points of the season, having lost each of its opening four matches. The club currently aims to avoid a five-game losing streak to start the campaign, a feat last matched in the 1929-30 season. Conversely, Blackburn Rovers arrives in midtable standing with a five-point lead over their hosts. Blackburn has remained competitive on the road, losing only one of its last seven away games in the division. Preston has not secured a home league win against Blackburn since October 2019, while Blackburn has secured three consecutive league victories over this opponent.
