On Saturday, Blackburn Rovers and Preston North End meet at Ewood Park to kick off the return of the EFL Championship. During the World Cup break, the Riversiders won consecutive friendly matches against Hearts and Ajax, and they will want to keep the momentum going.
Blackburn Rovers are well on their way to making the playoffs or even getting promoted automatically halfway through the 2022-23 EFL Championship season. The Riversiders are currently third in the league, two points behind Sheffield United, who are in second place with 36 points from 21 games. The Riversiders have won five of their last seven league games.
Blackburn Rovers will be looking to build on their recent victories over Hearts and Ajax in friendly matches heading into the weekend. In the meantime, Preston North End last played on November 12, when they were defeated 4-2 at home by Millwall.
Prior to that, they had won three games in a row, defeating Reading, Middlesbrough, and Swansea City, respectively. With 31 points from 21 games, Preston North End is currently ninth in the EFL Championship table. However, if they get all three points this weekend, they could potentially move up to fourth.
