West Brom vs Blackburn Rovers Team News :
West Brom has been playing well recently, winning four of their last six Championship games but losing twice in their last three league games. In any case, the team can hope to make the playoffs this season because they are in the top half of the standings and just a few points behind the first team in the playoff zone.
In terms of team news, West Brom is without Alex Palmer, Matt Phillips, and Kyle Bartley because of injuries.

West Brom vs Blackburn Rovers Prediction :
Despite playing well at home, the Baggies have been inconsistent in recent league games. In their last seven home games, they have not allowed a goal, but those games have been against teams in the bottom half of the standings.
Blackburn, on the other hand, has drawn their last three league games and lost two of their last four away games. Since 2005, they have only won once away from home against their northern rivals, so they may struggle here. A low-scoring draw may occur given the two teams’ current form.
