Blackburn Rovers analysis

The ratio of goals scored to goals conceded for Blackburn Rovers is positive: after 9 rounds the team has scored 15 goals, conceding only 11.

In terms of form, the team comes from a 2 losses streak in the Championship, which is not a good omen for this next match.

The average number of shots towards goal for Blackburn Rovers is not among the best, with only 4.33 a match. This is a good indicator that the team does not have a very good scoring average, and does not engage the opposing goalkeepers too much.

With an average ball possession of 48.89% per game in the current league, Blackburn Rovers cannot call itself a team that holds the game in its hands, rather it prefers the counterattacking strategy. But if they want to try to win the game against Swansea City they must try to impose their game to create difficulties for their opponents.

The adaptation of Andreas Weimann with the new jersey has not been the best. He had another disappointing performance in Blackburn Rovers last game of the season, against Plymouth Argyle. In the clash, the midfielder failed to be effective and did little for the team. Despite the good expectations for the player, his performance is starting to worry.
