The Championship takes back its rights! Direction Elwood Park for a clash between former Premier League: Blackburn vs West Bromwich. Like every year, the 2 teams will try to play the playoffs in order to give themselves a chance to return to PL. For this, the Rovers will have to put aside the last preparation match against Girona (loss 3-2) and focus on all the good things achieved during the month of July where the number of successes was 3 in 4 games. In addition, the blues and whites can benefit from the psychological advantage because the latter had taken over during the 2nd round in mid-February. Objective for the Riversiders: to offer 90 minutes of happiness to supporters waiting for a victory for the return of the English D2.
It is to be hoped that the Baggies have woken up from the nightmare in which they find themselves otherwise the 1st day could simply turn sour. Indeed, WBA has chained poor performances this summer with 4 games without a single success (2D-2N) so confidence seems to be at its lowest for Nicolas Anelka’s former club. It’s simple, if the men led by Carlos Corberan haven’t found the magic recipe during the rest period, no miracle will happen on the green rectangle of the BRFC.
