Blackburn Rovers and Blackpool lock horns in the EFL Championship on Tuesday

Blackburn Rovers and Blackpool lock horns at Ewood Park in the EFL Championship on Tuesday.

The Rovers head into the midweek clash unbeaten in seven home games against Mick McCarthy's side and will look to keep the juggernaut rolling.

Blackburn Rovers continued their pursuit of a playoff place as they secured a hard-earned 1-0 victory over Swansea City on Saturday.

They are currently unbeaten in seven games on the trot in all competitions, a run which has seen them reach the fifth round of the FA Cup courtesy of a 1-0 win at Birmingham City on January 31.

With 49 points from 32 matches, Blackburn Rovers are currently seventh in the EFL Championship table, level on points with Millwall and Sunderland.

Meanwhile, Blackpool returned to winning ways last time out as they saw off Stoke City 1-0 on home turf.

Prior to that, the Seasiders were on a six-game winless run across all competitions, losing four and claiming two draws since January’s 4-1 FA Cup victory over Nottingham Forest.

With 31 points from 32 matches, Blackpool are currently 23rd in the Championship table, two points off 21st-placed Rotherham United outside the relegation zone.
