Blackburn Rovers have not won any of their past three league games (D1 L2) as they prepare to host Stoke City on Wednesday, but a win here would give them their third successive league victory over the Potters, having claimed all six available points against the Staffordshire side last season.
Stoke are on their own winless run on the road, having failed to take victory – or even score – in any of their past four away league games (D1 L3).
-
Rovers haven’t beaten Stoke on three successive occasions since a run of five games between 1988 and 2008.
-
The Potters were unbeaten at Ewood Park for eight consecutive league games between 2009 and 2022 before losing 3-1 there last season.
-
Blackburn have not won a midweek league fixture since a 2-1 win over Bristol City 2-1 in December 2023 (D3 L4 since) and have only found the net in one of those seven games.
-
Outside the Premier League, Stoke have not gone five successive away matches without scoring since a run of nine in August 1997.
-
Rovers winger Tyrhys Dolan scored his first ever league brace during this fixture last season to help the home side to a 3-1 victory in February.
