Blackburn Rovers welcome Wycombe Wanderers in the latest round of EFL Championship fixtures this weekend.
Wycombe Wanderers' first game in the second tier of English football ended in a heartbreaking loss at home to Rotherham as they conceded a late goal two minutes into stoppage time, losing 1-0.
Blackburn Rovers also tasted defeat, losing 3-2 away at Bournemouth, who were recently relegated from the Premier League.
The Blues left the south coast frustrated, having levelled the game twice, so they will go into this one with their tails up to, hopefully for them, notch their first win of the campaign against a cash-strapped league rival.
Blackburn Rovers vs Wycombe Wanderers Head-to-Head
This will be the first-ever fixture between the two clubs despite both existing for well over 130 years.
The two have had contrasting fortunes, though. This is Wycombe's first-ever year as a Championship club whereas Blackburn have always featured in one of the top two tiers of English football, even winning the 1994-95 Premier League title.

Blackburn rotated their squad for their League Cup loss against Newcastle United and are set to play their full strength side this weekend.
Wycombe will have a full week's rest but Blackburn rested key players and their strength in depth will likely be too much for Gareth Ainsworth's men.
