Blackburn's 2025/2026 Championship Campaign
Blackburn's journey through the 2025/2026 Championship was a rollercoaster that ultimately saw them finish 20th with 52 points. Their record of 13 wins, 13 draws, and 20 losses reflects a season of mixed fortunes. Scoring 42 goals while conceding 56 left them with a goal difference of -14, highlighting some defensive frailties.
The team's performance away from home was notably stronger in terms of wins, clinching 9 victories on the road compared to 4 at home. However, their defence leaked goals on both fronts, conceding 27 at home and 29 away. Blackburn managed to keep 12 clean sheets across the campaign, with a slightly better showing away from home.
Looking ahead, Blackburn will be keen to turn some of those draws and narrow defeats into wins. With the foundations laid, they will hope to build a more consistent challenge in future Championship campaigns.

Blackburn's 2025/2026 Campaign Review
Blackburn's Championship journey this season was a bit of a rollercoaster rather than a smooth ride. With 13 wins split unevenly between home (4) and away (9), their form suggests they found more comfort on foreign turf than in front of their own fans. The 13 draws—nine at home—indicate a tendency to drop points more often through stalemates rather than outright losses.
Speaking of defeats, Blackburn lost 20 times, evenly split between home and away, which points to a consistent vulnerability regardless of venue. Their goal difference of -14 and total of 42 goals scored show they struggled both offensively and defensively. With no significant win streaks to boast about, their season was marked by inconsistent patches rather than sustained runs of form.

Blackburn's Home and Away Form in 2025/2026
Blackburn’s 2025/2026 Championship campaign has been a tale of two grounds. At home, they have struggled to find consistency, managing just 4 wins from 23 matches, scoring 19 goals but leaking 27. Their defence has kept 5 clean sheets on home turf, which suggests some resilience but not enough to secure more victories.
Away from home, Blackburn actually fare better, notching 9 wins and scoring 23 goals. They've also conceded slightly more on the road, 29 goals, but have kept 7 clean sheets, indicating a slightly more effective defensive effort when playing away. This contrast reveals a side that perhaps thrives on counter-attacking or feels less pressure when travelling, yet still battles to keep the goals out consistently.
Overall, Blackburn’s tendency to perform better on the road than at home is a curious quirk in their 2025/2026 Championship season.
Fipster's Record on Blackburn
The Fipster model has had a cautious start with Blackburn in the 2025/2026 Championship campaign, having scored on just one occasion. With no stars or ticks to boast yet, and one miss on record, the model is still very much in the early stages of establishing its predictive credentials for Blackburn this season. It seems the algorithm is taking its time to get a proper feel for the team's form — much like Blackburn themselves, who have had a mixed bag of results through the campaign.
