The Swans, on the other hand, have had a decent run in their last five games. However, they suffered their first loss this season against Birmingham City and failed to get back to winning ways, following a 1-1 draw against Millwall.

Player to watch: Yuki Ohashi
Blackburn Rovers striker Yuki Ohashi has played an important role this season despite the team's poor run of form. The Japanese striker has one goal and one assist this season for the team. With his ability to find the back of the net and create opportunities, he will be a key player for the home side and a threat to the opposition.
