Burnley - Blackburn Rovers predictions

The online bookies marked Burnley as the favourites, which makes a lot of sense. Still, we wouldn’t put Blackburn Rovers winning beyond them – not to mention that draws are a strong possibility in relatively balanced games.

Blackburn will have little to hope for in this match. 4.05 betting odds on them winning paint a pretty clear picture and from this standpoint there is little doubt in regard to the outcome of this clash.

The hosts are coming off from a narrow away defeat Sunderland from the previous Championship fixture. They were never able to put up a real fight as they fell behind in the first 45 minutes and never got a chance to catch up despite the minimum goal deficit.

The away team are here after a successful home showdown against Oxford United. The home-field advantage and favourable odds implied that the victory would be more decisive than a 1-goal difference in the second half, but they secured 3 points either way.

The hosts have been careful not to let their goalscoring stats slip. They’ve scored more than 5 times during the last 3 matches, indicating consistent offensive results.

We’ve seen some impressive offensive performances from The Rovers in the past few weeks. Their latest 3 league outings were marked by more than 5 goals scored, which means this match is likely to confirm markets like BTTS and Over 5 Goals.

The hosts went through a slew of unfortunate injuries recently, rendering some of their players unavailable for the match this Saturday. Nathan Redmond, Hjalmar Ekdal, Hannes Delcroix, Jordan Beyer will not be playing, though the team is still considered likely to win.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.79 at Pncl.
