Blackburn Rovers are aiming to achieve a league double over Leicester City, a feat they haven’t accomplished since 1990-91, following their 2-0 victory earlier in the season.
Leicester’s Recent Struggles Against Blackburn
Leicester City have suffered 2-0 defeats in their previous two league encounters with Blackburn. The Foxes are looking to avoid a third consecutive league loss to Rovers, something they haven’t experienced since October 1987. Adding to their woes, Leicester have never lost three straight league matches to Blackburn without scoring a goal.
Final Match Form: Contrasting Records
Blackburn Rovers have a strong record in their final league matches, losing only one of their last 13 seasons. That defeat was a 2-3 result away to Luton in the 2019-20 season. Leicester, in contrast, have lost their final league match in four of the last six seasons. This is as many as they had lost in their previous 18 final matches.
Leicester’s Relegation History
Leicester are the fifth team to suffer relegation from the Premier League and the Championship in consecutive seasons. Previous teams to experience this include Swindon Town (1993-94/94-95), Wolves (2011-12/12-13), Sunderland (2016-17/17-18) and Luton (2023-24/24-25).
