In that match, Blackburn Rovers managed 63% possession and 12 shots at goal with 5 on target. For their opponents, Nottingham Forest had 13 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. Alex Mighten (26') scored for Nottingham Forest.
Blackburn Rovers have not been in good attacking form in recent times. Their ‘goals for’ figure equals just 4 against opponents during the course of their last six fixtures.

- have not registered a win against Blackburn Rovers when having played them away from home in the previous 4 league games. Not good.
