How Blackburn Rovers’ record after 39 games in 2021/22 compares to last season

Despite a recent dip in form with one win, one draw and three losses in their previous five games, Blackburn currently sit sixth in the league in a play-off spot.

At this stage last season, Blackburn had lost 17 games and they’ve improved on this only losing 12 this season.

What’s important though is that the five games they’ve not lost, they have won every one of them meaning they have five wins more at this stage compared to what they had last season.

Interestingly, at this stage last season they had scored more one more than they have so far this season so it’s not as though they’ve gone on a goal scoring spree this season.

However, their goals against number has dropped from 43 to 39 showing us they are doing a better job at defending and have strengthened there this season.

Blackburn’s home form has significantly improved this season which could be related to the return of fans to stadiums this season.

At this point in the season they have currently won double the amount of home games than they
