Stoke City desperately need points on Tuesday, Nov 3 at 8:45 PM in the Championship. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Blackburn Rovers come into this fixture in mixed form (1W 1D 0L). Stoke City travel out of form (0W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Blackburn Rovers won their last outing, while Stoke City suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

In 10 previous meetings, Blackburn Rovers lead 3–5 with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw.

Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Blackburn Rovers clear favorites, but Stoke City have shown they can grind out results. Expect Blackburn Rovers to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
