• Fixture: Blackburn Rovers vs Swansea City

• Date: Tuesday, 30 September 2025

• Kick-off: 19:45 BST

• Venue: Ewood Park

Match Prediction: Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Swansea City

Blackburn Rovers have shown a mix of resilience and vulnerability in their recent outings. Their ability to secure narrow victories against strong teams like Ipswich Town and Watford suggests they can be effective at home, but their heavy defeat to Charlton Athletic indicates potential defensive frailties. 

Swansea City have been inconsistent, with a pattern of draws and a single loss in their last five games. This suggests they struggle to break down a determined Blackburn side, especially if the home team can capitalise on their recent home form.

The game could hinge on Blackburn's ability to capitalise on their home advantage and Swansea's struggles in securing away wins. Blackburn's recent wins have often been by a single goal, indicating a tight contest could be on the cards. 

Swansea's draws show they can hold their own but might lack the cutting edge needed to secure a victory away from home. Expect a closely fought match with Blackburn likely to edge it due to their home form and Swansea's struggles on the road.

Blackburn Rovers have displayed a fluctuating form in their recent matches, with three wins and two losses in their last five games. Their victories against Ipswich Town and Watford, both by a single goal, demonstrate their capability to grind out results, particularly at home. 

However, the heavy defeat to Charlton Athletic away from home raises concerns about their defensive stability. This inconsistency could play a significant role in their upcoming match against Swansea, where maintaining a solid defence will be crucial to securing a positive result.

• Loss: 0-3 vs Charlton Athletic (A)

• Win: 1-0 vs Ipswich Town (H)

• Win: 1-0 vs Watford (A)

• Loss: 0-2 vs Norwich City (H)

• Win: 3-0 vs Hull City (A)

Swansea City's recent form has been characterised by draws, with three in their last five games, and a single loss. Their ability to secure points against teams like Millwall and Hull City at home demonstrates that they can be competitive, but their failure to win away from home, as evident in the loss to Birmingham City, is a concern.

This pattern suggests that Swansea might struggle to break down a determined Blackburn side, especially given their recent struggles on the road. Their performance in this match will likely depend on their ability to convert draws into wins.

• Draw: 1-1 vs Millwall (H)

• Loss: 0-1 vs Birmingham City (A)

• Draw: 2-2 vs Hull City (H)

• Win: 2-0 vs Sheffield Wednesday (A)

• Draw: 1-1 vs Watford (H)

The head-to-head record between Blackburn Rovers and Swansea City shows a closely contested rivalry. In their last five encounters, Swansea have won three times, while Blackburn have secured two victories. 

The most recent match saw Swansea triumph 3-0, but Blackburn has also managed to win at home in their previous two home games against Swansea. This suggests that while Swansea have had the upper hand recently, Blackburn can be competitive, especially at Ewood Park.

Blackburn's predicted lineup suggests a focus on maintaining a solid midfield presence with Tronstad and Tavares, which could help control the game's tempo. The inclusion of Ohashi in attack indicates an intent to exploit any defensive weaknesses in Swansea's backline.

• Predicted lineup: Vigouroux, Key, Cabango, Burgess, Tymon, Franco, Galbraith, Ronald, Stamenic, Inoussa, Vipotnik

Swansea's predicted lineup points to a reliance on Franco and Galbraith in midfield to dictate play and create scoring opportunities. The presence of Cabango in defence will be crucial in dealing with Blackburn's attacking threats.

• Morishita vs Tymon: This duel will be key as Morishita's pace and movement will test Tymon's defensive solidity.

• Tronstad vs. Galbraith: The midfield battle between Tronstad’s tenacity and Galbraith's creativity could determine which team gains control of the game.

• Tavares (Blackburn Rovers): Tavares's role in midfield will be vital for Blackburn, providing both defensive stability and the ability to launch attacks.

• Inoussa (Swansea City): Inoussa's influence on the wing will be crucial for Swansea, as his ability to create chances could unlock Blackburn's defence.
