Prediction: 3-2
Oxford United
Expect an electrifying atmosphere at Ewood Park when Blackburn Rovers and Oxford United square off against each other in an eagerly-awaited Championship game on Saturday afternoon. The Riversiders have been scoring goals for fun in the new campaign and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against the newcomers. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be summer signing Yuki Ohashi, who has already found his goal-scoring touch, while defender Scott Wharton remains in the recovery room.
The Yellows, on the other hand, are a team with two faces as they are tough to beat at home, while struggling on the travels. As over the years Blackburn have turned their Ewood Park into a real fortress, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from the match. Midfielder Will Goodwin should be the only absentee in the away team.
Highlighted Team (Blackburn Rovers):
Blackburn Rovers have been trying to return to the Premier League ever since they dropped to the Championship in 2012.
