BLACKBURN, England (Interstat) — Two sides trending in opposite directions will meet Saturday when Blackburn Rovers host Derby County in an English Football League Championship fixture at Ewood Park.

Derby County (5-4-2) enters the match in strong form, riding a three-game winning streak. The Rams are coming off a 2-1 home victory over Hull City on Tuesday, preceded by wins over Sheffield United and Queens Park Rangers. Their recent surge has solidified a mid-table position.

Conversely, Blackburn Rovers (4-6-1) has struggled for consistency this season. However, they snapped a three-match losing streak with a 1-0 road win at Bristol City on Tuesday, following a 2-0 victory at Leicester City last weekend. The back-to-back clean sheets offer a positive sign for a team that has found wins hard to secure.

The statistical service Interstat projects a 1-1 draw for the contest.

The matchup pits Derby’s momentum against a Blackburn side showing recent defensive resilience. The game is scheduled for a 3 p.m. local time kickoff on Saturday, Nov. 8, 2025.
