Blackburn welcome Wrexham for a meeting between two sides hoping to close the gap to the Championship play-off places on Saturday afternoon (kick-off 15:00 BST).

Rovers, who are 10th and two points off the top eight, lost for the first time in five games last time out - going down 3-2 at West Brom - but had won three of four (D1) before that.

The Red Dragons, who are four places and just one point behind Blackburn, thrashed bottom side Preston 4-1 last weekend for only their third win of the campaign.

Phil Parkinson's side will hope to record back-to-back victories for the first time this season.

• Blackburn Rovers have won just two of their 16 league games against Wrexham (D10 L4), a 2-1 win in August 1971 and a 1-0 win in September 1980.

• Wrexham are unbeaten across their previous seven away league games against Blackburn Rovers (W2 D5), conceding just four goals across that time.

• Blackburn have won both of their past two league games at Ewood Park; Rovers last won three in a row at home in October 2024 (run of five).

• Wrexham have won just one of their past six away league games (D3 L2), while they've conceded in each of their past six league matches home and away. Since the start of 2025-26, they've only had a longer run in December 2025 (run of seven).

• Blackburn's Andri Gudjohnsen leads the Championship this season for the highest positive xG differential (3.8), netting six goals so far from an xG tally of 2.2.
