Valerin Ismael's Blackburn are fresh off a 3-0 win at Hull City last weekend. Ryan Hedges broke the deadlock inside 18 minutes before Yuki Ohashi doubled the visitors' lead two minutes into the second period.

With a Hull comeback not materialising, Todd Cantwell's 50th-minute strike ended the game as a contest. The win snapped the Rovers' two-game losing streak, putting them up to 16th with three points from as many outings.

Meanwhile, Liam Manning's Norwich are coming off a 2-1 home defeat to Middlesbrough. Finn Azaz and Tommy Conway scored within two minutes of each other to give Boro a 2-0 half-time lead.

Jacob Wright was sent off in the 58th minute, reducing Norwich to 10 men, but the hosts pulled one back five minutes from time. However, an equaliser wasn't to be as Boro held on for the three points. The defeat sees the Canaries in 17th in the points table, with three points from as many games, behind the Rovers on goal difference.

Blackburn Rovers vs Norwich City prediction

Both sides have struggled to get going this season, having won just one of their three Championship games and having exited the EFL Cup.

In terms of head-to-head, the Rovers hold a slender advantage, but recent matchups have been more balanced. Blackburn, though, are winless in seven home league games against Norwich, losing five, but have drawn the last two.

While the Canaries are on a two-game losing streak across competitions, the Rovers are coming off a win in their most recent outing and could ride that momentum to take a slender win.
