Blackburn Rovers will host Watford at Ewood Park on Tuesday afternoon in another round of Championship football.
The Rovers enjoyed a brilliant start to their season but have fallen off the pace in recent weeks. They were beaten 3-2 by Bristol City in their last game and will be looking to bounce back here.
Blackburn Rovers sit seventh in the league table with 12 points from eight games. They will aim to shake off their latest results and get their campaign back on track this week.
Watford have had mixed results in the league this season. They were held to a 1-1 away draw by Rotherham United in their last game, with summer signing Vakoun Issouf Bayo scoring the equalizer for the Hornets just after the half-hour mark.
The visitors sit a place and a point above their midweek hosts in the league table and will be looking to widen that gap on Tuesday.

Blackburn Rovers vs Watford Prediction
The Rovers have lost four of their last five league games. They are on a run of back-to-back home defeats and will hope to end that streak here.
Watford have not fared much better than their hosts, winning just one of their last six games across all competitions. Neither side are in encouraging form and they could share the points here.
Prediction: Blackburn Rovers 1-1 Watford
