Blackburn Rovers FC
Blackburn Rovers come into their opening game with all the talk about off field matters, regarding last season’s top goalscorer Sammie Szmodics.
Although Rovers still officially own the player,his departure from Ewood Park seems imminent, with Ipswich showing strong interest.
Szmodics has been absent from Blackburn’s pre-season activities, making it highly unlikely he’ll play in Friday’s game, which is a blow to all concerned at Ewood Park
Last season, Blackburn narrowly avoided relegation, and there are many who suggest they may face difficulties again this year. Without Szmodics’ scoring ability, the outlook for the new season at Ewood appears grim.
Derby FC
Meanwhile, County’s manager, Paul Warne will be looking forward to life back in the Championship following a few season in League Two.
A second placed finish last year gave the Rams automatic promotion to the Championship and they’ll be hopeful of making a quick start in the first game this evening.
There would be no better way to start their season than three points on the road in front of the Sky Sports cameras.
