Blackburn enter their third Sky Bet Championship game in the space of a week on the back of a 2-0 win at Millwall and a solid 1-1 draw with Swansea — a tiring period for any squad, not least one that is small.
Tony Mowbray's job security remains in question after a long period of underwhelming results, with Rovers seemingly out of the running for a play-off place.
Following an exciting start to the campaign, a lack of entertaining attacking football is a serious problem at Blackburn, and with top goalscorer Adam Armstrong still likely to be on the sidelines, that looks set to continue here.
Brentford were given a rest last weekend after more positive COVID-19 cases emerged at Rotherham, dropping to fourth as a result of a blank gameweek.
It was a welcome break for the Bees, who had lost four of their last six games before the postponement, including three in succession away from home.
The home side have won just one of their last eight league games at Ewood Park, so this is a perfect opportunity for the Bees to move back into an automatic promotion spot. I certainly expect them to do so.
Score prediction: Blackburn 0-2 Brentford
