Our prediction for this Championship match:
Blackburn Rovers
Match Time & Date:
25/08/2018
15:00 GMT
Prediction: 2-2
Brentford
Following a 1-0 win at Hull City, Blackburn Rovers did well to come from two goals behind and share the spoils with Reading in their last league match. The Riversiders showed character in the midweek fixture, but it has to be noted that both goals were scored from the penalty kicks. Blackburn face a difficult task against Brentford on Matchday 5, but they are definitely capable of grabbing something from the match. The Bees, on the other hand, were more than unfortunate not to beat Aston Villa in Birmingham at the weekend, with the Villans scoring the equalizer in the dying seconds of the match. Anyhow, Brentford have been in a fine form of late and, taking everything into account, we predict that they are going to share the spoils with Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park, like they did three years ago.

Highlighted Player (Bradley Dack):
Born in Greenwich, England on December 31, 1993, Bradley Paul Dack is a midfielder who plays for Blackburn Rovers in the Championship. Bradley Dack began his youth career at Charlton Athletic back in 2005 and five years later he moved to Corinthian. However, the English footballer started his senior career at Gillingham, making his league debut against Bradford City on August 18, 2012. 20 days later he scored his first senior goal as he found the net in Football League trophy clash against Crawley Town. Before joining Blackburn Rovers on June 27, 2017 Bradley Dack played four games on loan for Braintree Town, scoring one goal in those league games. His main position is attacking midfielder, but he is used as both right and left midfielder as well. Dack once described himself as “free role behind two strikers”. The Blackburn Rovers midfielder often finds the net and it has to be noted that he scored 16 goals in 36 appearances for the Riversiders in the 2017/2018 League One campaign.
Highlighted Team (Brentford):
Based in London, Brentford compete in the Championship and they were founded in 1898. Griffin Park has been the home ground of the club since 1904 and the capacity of the venue is 12,300.
The Bees have yet to play in the Premier League and it has to be noted that they made it to the FA Cup sixth round on four occasions (1937/1938, 1945/1946,1948/1949, 1988/1989). Brentford played in the League Cup round 4 in the 1982/1983 and 2010/2011 season and that is the club’s biggest success in the competition.
Brentford’s main rivals are Fulham and Queens Park Rangers and they take on each other in the West London Derby. The rivalry with the Cottagers is probably the biggest and you should bear in mind that the clashes between the two teams have always been marred by crowd violence. The colour of Brentford’s shirts is red and white and they wear black shorts.
