BLACKBURN, England (Interstat) — Blackburn Rovers host Leicester City on Saturday in a Championship matchup that pits two clubs heading in opposite directions.

The game is set for May 2, 2026, at Ewood Park. Blackburn enters on a high after a 3-1 win at Sheffield United on April 22. The victory snapped a run of five matches without a win for Rovers, who had drawn three and lost two since their last victory on April 3.

Leicester, meanwhile, is mired in a winless streak of nine games dating to March 10. The Foxes most recently drew 1-1 at home with Millwall on April 24. That result followed a 2-2 tie at Hull City on April 21 and a 1-0 loss at Portsmouth on April 18. Leicester has not won since a 2-0 victory at Bristol City on March 10 (Interstat) — a stretch of eight league matches without three points.

The head-to-head history favors Blackburn. The last meeting, on Nov. 1, 2025, saw Rovers win 2-0 at Leicester. That result reversed a trend: Leicester had won the previous two encounters.

Blackburn’s form has been inconsistent. After beating Birmingham City 1-0 on April 3, Rovers drew 0-0 with West Brom on April 6, drew 1-1 at Stoke on April 11, lost 3-0 at home to Southampton on April 14, drew 1-1 with Coventry on April 17, then beat Sheffield United. The win at Sheffield gave Blackburn back-to-back clean sheets in away games, though they have kept only one clean sheet at home since early March.

Leicester’s recent road form has been poor. The Foxes have lost at Portsmouth and drawn at Hull and Millwall in their last three away games. Before that, they lost 1-0 at Swansea on April 11 and drew 1-1 at Sheffield Wednesday on April 6. Their last away win was March 10 at Bristol City.

The Interstat game simulator projects a 1-1 draw. That outcome would extend Leicester’s winless run but also deny Blackburn a second straight victory.

Kickoff is scheduled for 3 p.m. local time. The match is part of the Championship’s regular season schedule, with both sides aiming to improve their positions in the league table. Blackburn will look to build momentum, while Leicester seeks its first win in more than seven weeks.
