Head to head
Looking at the statistics for their head to head duels stretching back to 28/12/2009, there has been little to separate the clubs with Sunderland winning 2 of those games, Blackburn Rovers 2 and 2 being draws in normal time. A combined total of 14 goals were shared by the two clubs during those clashes, with 7 of them from The Black Cats and 7 created by Rovers. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 2.33.

The previous league encounter between the two was Championship match day 16 on 18/10/2022 when it finished Blackburn Rovers 2-0 Sunderland. In that game, Blackburn Rovers managed 39% possession and 11 attempts on goal with 3 on target. The goalscorers were Ben Brereton Díaz (32') and Scott Wharton (49'). Sunderland had 13 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. The referee was Craig Pawson.

Prediction
When taking everything into account, Blackburn Rovers might have a difficult job to be putting a goal past this Sunderland side who we reckon will end up scoring and possibly keep a clean sheet as well.

We’re therefore seeing a highly competitive game with a 1-0 winning margin for Sunderland when the full-time whistle blows. Hoping for a good game.

正面交锋
从2009年12月28日的数据来看，桑德兰赢了2场，布莱克本2场和2场在正常时间被逼平，这两家俱乐部几乎没有什么区别。两家俱乐部在这场比赛中共进14球，其中7球来自黑猫，7球来自流浪者。这意味着平均每场比赛进球数为2.33个。

两队之前的联赛交手是在2022年10月18日的英冠第16比赛日，当时布莱克本流浪者2-0桑德兰。在那场比赛中，布莱克本有39%的控球率，11次射门，其中3次射正。进球的是本·布里列顿Díaz(32')和斯科特·沃顿(49')。桑德兰有13次射门，其中4次射正。裁判是克雷格·波森。

预测
考虑到所有因素，布莱克本流浪者可能很难在桑德兰面前进球，我们认为桑德兰最终会进球，也可能保持零封。

因此，我们将看到一场激烈的比赛，当终场哨声响起时，桑德兰将以1-0的优势获胜。希望有一场精彩的比赛。
