Very even duel
Swansea and Blackburn come into this match with 39 points, the only difference between the two is the goals scored, as in goal difference they are also tied at -12, Blackburn's goals scored are greater with a difference of 5.
Problems away from home
Blackburn has not had the best results when facing away games, the team has just five wins out of seventeen away games, a three-nil victory in November, the last time they had an away win.
Blackburn with much to improve
Blackburn Rovers comes into this game with three consecutive draws in the EFL Championship, but that's not all, the team has just one win in the last thirteen games played, certainly a great sign that they are not at their best.

Blackburn Rovers knows how to suffer
Blackburn is becoming an endearing team in the EFL Championship, this team knows what it is to go through several categories in English soccer, but above all, it knows how to overcome them to move up, in the Premier League its relegation occurred in the 2011-2012 season, from there, the team went through bad times and in 2016-17, it was relegated another division, now already more established in the Championship, This season the team has not found the best level and after 34 rounds is located in 16th place with 39 points, little is the margin for error that this team has, because the fight with the other teams is very intense and even a negative streak could put them to fight the relegation, this team must work the best at the end of the season, because very intense weeks are coming with all the teams going out to look for the victory and take the three points.
Swansea wants to avoid risks
Swansea is a great team with a long tradition in soccer, their competitiveness has taken them several times to the Premier League and it was in their last promotion where they were able to stay for four consecutive seasons, that last season ended in relegation and it is now where they have stayed for six seasons in the Championship, this team has not been so good at the time of looking for promotion places, Swansea has been left behind in the mid-table and always away from relegation, this competition does not forgive anyone and not delivering your highest level can end in a tragedy, for this season the team is located in 17th place in the table with 39 points, just 4 points away from the penultimate place, this team can not be trusted, as the risk of relegation is still latent, with the positions so close, you can understand why it is a very competitive competition.
Mid-table duel
The EFL Championship is very close to the end of its regular season, many of the teams already know what fate awaits them, whether good or not, teams must give their best version every game because they have a fan base that supports them unconditionally, this day we expect a Swansea vs Blackburn Rovers, two mid-table teams on equal points that will seek to take off three points.
