Blackburn set to make life tough for the Swans
Swansea City sit 2nd in the Championship 2026-2027 standings after 12 games with 23 points, while Blackburn Rovers are 10th with 18 points after the same number of matches.
Swansea are clear 77/100 favourites with bookmakers to defeat Rovers at the Swansea.com Stadium on Saturday afternoon, but we don't think that the 77/100 odds are enough to get involved in and there are better ways to make money on this matchup.
Blackburn have been a breath of fresh air in the Championship since the start of the campaign and they've shown enough grit and quality to suggest that they will not be easily brushed aside by the Swans at the weekend.
Tony Mowbray's men have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five games and returned to winning ways last time out by beating National League side Wrexham 2-0 after a 3-2 loss at West Bromwich Albion.
Mowbray has a settled team playing a measured possession-based game with selective pressing and they have been tough to break down on their travels.
Rovers have won one, drawn three and lost two on the road in the Championship 2026-2027 and are scoring 1.33 goals per game while conceding an average of 1.50 goals per match away from Ewood Park.
Vítor Matos' side have won three, drawn two and lost once in front of their own fans in the Championship 2026-2027 and have conceded just 0.50 goals-per-match at home.
The last time these two sides met in the Championship 2025-2026, Swansea ran out 3-1 winners at the Swansea.com Stadium, a result that will keep The Swans in the psychological driving seat for this weekend's clash.
Swansea are struggling a little to replicate their early season form and have lost two in a row, following last weekend's 1-0 defeat at the hands of West Ham United with a 5-0 thrashing at Queens Park Rangers.
Blackburn have the quality to at least ensure a tough 90-minute matchup, especially at Swansea.com Stadium where Rovers have failed to win any of their last three away games.
There is a clear difference in the way these teams are set up with Swansea favoring a high-pressing, high-tempo style, while Rovers are more compact and try to play through the lines.
Matos' team will attempt to get Blackburn high up the pitch, but Mowbray's side will try to stay compact and play through them in a chess match of sorts.
A safe punt in the alternative markets could be Both Teams to Score: No at 19/20, but 87/100 on Over 2.5 Goals is also good enough to cover Rovers' goals and the home team's chances of keeping them to just the one.
Gudjohnsen is on three Championship goals in seven games and has also scored three times in their last five matches, while Adam Idah continues to be the main goal threat for The Swans with three in eight.
Moussa Kounfolo Yeo has chipped in with two of Swansea's five goals in their last five so we'll take him for our anytime goal scorer wagers.
