History of the Blackburn Rovers v Birmingham City fixture
Blues travel to face Blackburn Rovers in their final game of the season on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings at Ewood Park, having been beaten a depressing 32 out of 49 times.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Ewood Park was just last season, in January 2003, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Premiership match .. view report
