Match Time & Date:

16:00
Prediction: 1-1
Southampton
Ewood Park will host Saturday’s football game between Blackburn Rovers and Southampton, the two teams with entirely different ambitions for the season finale. The Riversiders desperately needed a win against Sunderland and they managed to get one in style (5-1), with the team regaining a much-needed confidence. Blackburn are determined to secure the Championship survival, but, no doubt, they would be happy with one point from Saturday’s clash as well. All Harry Pickering, Arnor Sigurdsson, Harry Leonard, and John Fleck remain in the recovery room.
The visitors, on the other hand, are on the right track to book their spot in the playoffs. As Southampton would be happy with one point from the Ewood Park showdown as well, we are tempted to place our bets on both teams to score. Defender James Bree is banned for the match, while both Ross Stewart and Juan Larios are sidelined with injuries.
