Burnley - Blackburn Rovers betting tips and odds

A quick look at the betting odds with some of the biggest bookmakers online is enough to tell you who the favourites are. Priced at 1.75, a home win seems the obvious choice. An upset is not quite impossible, mind you, which adds a small degree of risk but is ultimately food increasing profits.

This one has Home Win written all over it. The hosts are expected to grab a firm hold of the proceedings and Blackburn Rovers will be left with slim pickings in this match.

The top online bookmakers and experts alike predicted an away win at Burnley’s previous home game at Sheffield United , so it’s fair to say people were surprised by the lead they took in the first half. It didn’t matter in the end, though, as they endured a crushing 5:2 defeat.

Blackburn Rovers defeated Huddersfield Town in the previous round with a narrow 1:0 goal difference and a lead at both halftime and the final whistle. To be frank, this outcome wasn’t much of a surprise – top online bookmakers clearly favoured Blackburn Rovers who also had the advantage of playing at home.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and Burnley have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

The Rovers’s past two matches featured less than 2 goals. As such, going for markets such as Over 2.5 or Both Teams to Score is not recommended.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

We recommend taking up 10Bet’s offer for a Draw/Home result in the Half Time/Full Time market, priced at 1. It’s fairly good for value, but you might want to steer clear if you’re looking for high-probability wagers.
