Match Prediction: Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Swansea City

Blackburn Rovers are coming into this match with a bit of a rollercoaster form. They've had some solid wins against tough teams like Ipswich and Watford, demonstrating their ability to grind out results when needed.

However, those heavy losses to Charlton and Norwich might make them cautious. Expect them to play a bit more defensively, looking to counterattack Swansea.

Swansea City has been inconsistent lately. They've managed to nick points against Millwall and Hull, but that loss to Birmingham might still sting. They'll likely try to control the game with possession, but Blackburn's recent wins show they can be dangerous on the break. It should be a tight, tactical battle.

Blackburn have shown they can be a real threat at home, with that solid win over Ipswich. Their away form has been up and down, but they've managed to beat Watford on the road. 

The losses to Charlton and Norwich might have dented their confidence a bit, but they'll be looking to bounce back at home. If they can keep their shape and hit Swansea on the break, they've got a good chance.

• 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 have been drawing a lot lately, which suggests they can compete but struggle to see games through to the end. That win against Sheffield Wednesday will give them some confidence, but the loss to Birmingham might make them a bit wary. 

They'll need to be more clinical in front of goal if they want to get a result here. Expect them to try and dominate possession, but they'll need to be careful of Blackburn's counter-attacks.

• 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)

Swansea have had the upper hand in recent meetings, winning three of the last five encounters. However, Blackburn has managed to beat Swansea twice at home in that period. 

It's been tight games between these two, with most matches decided by a single goal. Expect another close contest, given their head-to-head record.

• Filip Lissah (Unknown injury) - Doubt

• Predicted lineup: Tóth, Alebiosu, Wharton, Miller, Ribeiro, Tronstad, Tavares, Morishita, Cantwell, Hedges, Ohashi

With Hayden Carter out, Blackburn will need to be solid at the back. Ohashi could cause problems for Swansea if they get the service from Morishita, Cantwell and Hedges.

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

Swansea will look to control the game with Franco and Galbraith in midfield. Vipotnik will need to be sharp up top to capitalise on any chances created.

• Morishita vs Tymon: This will be a key battle between Blackburn's lively winger and Swansea's experienced defender.

• Ohashi vs Burgess: Expect a tussle here as Ohashi comes up against Burgess's tenacity.

• Tronstad (Blackburn Rovers): Tronstad's energy and work rate will be crucial for Blackburn's chances.

• Stamenic (Swansea City): Stamenic's creativity could unlock Blackburn's defence if he's on form.
