Prediction: 2-1
Swansea
Expect an electrifying atmosphere at Ewood Park when Blackburn Rovers and Swansea City lock horns in the Championship round 10. The Seasiders aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Coventry City and Plymouth and are likely to go all guns blazing at the South Wales outfit. Midfielder Joe Rankin-Costello is pushing for a rare start after getting his name on the scoresheet in a 2-1 loss to Plymouth, while the likes of Callum Brittain, Zak Gilsenan, Harry Leonard, and Scott Wharton are out of contention with injuries.
Swansea City, on the other hand, have been struggling in front of goal of late, with the team failing to find the net in outings against Sheffield United (0-1) and Stoke City (0-0). As Blackburn have turned their Ewood Park into a real fortress, we predict that the visitors are going to return home with their hands empty. Both Andrew Fisher and John Ginnelly are injured for the visiting side.
