All square
We looked at this game long and hard but, after assessing all the available stats, we cannot separate the two teams. Stoke lost in the week but had won three games on the spin prior to that collecting a draw to bring their points haul to 10 points from 15 available in the last five. Blackburn have achieved the same number of points in that period but do arrive in better form having gone unbeaten in the last three. The respective home and away form of both sides is very similar too; Stoke have taken four points from their last nine at home and Blackburn have taken four from nine on the road. Last time the teams met it ended level too.
Both teams will score
Stoke have seen their last four games end with one team failing to score in each of those matches but three of those matches have been instances where Stoke kept a clean sheet; that shows they are capable of scoring goals. The reason we think both teams will net is because in spite of Stoke's recent clean sheet run they are facing a Blackburn side that are amongst the highest scorers in the league; they've scored eight goals in their last three games.
Ben Brereton Diaz to bag another goal
We have already touched on the fact that Blackburn are amongst the highest scoring teams in the league. A big part of that is down to their Chilean star Ben Brereton Diaz; he's netted 16 goals so far this season meaning he's responsible for over 48% of Rovers' goals. He's on a hot streak right now too. Brereton Diaz scored a brace in 60 minutes of football on Wednesday evening and has scored six goals in his past five matches. Can Stoke keep him quiet? They'll have their work cut out; that is for sure.

Stoke vs Blackburn: Matchday Preview
Stoke currently sit in the playoff spots but losing in midweek will just have them looking over their shoulders a little with the loss combining with their seemingly ever growing list of injuries not exactly the ideal scenario for a team aspiring for promotion. Blackburn have their eyes on the top six too and sit just one point and one place outside of it now. Things looked bleak when they were destroyed by Fulham four games ago but having taken seven points since they're back to looking like a well oiled machine with Ben Brereton Diaz very much the star.
