Blackburn Rovers - Derby County betting tips and odds

The odds are definitely leaning in the hosts’ favour, but this match is far from a done deal. Judging by odds alone, Derby County may yet be able to walk away with a draw or even a surprise victory – though it’s still a longshot.

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

The hosts’ form is looking shaky after the narrow defeat in the previous round. Most Championship betting predictions expected them to defeat Bristol City, and they were even playing at home. However, they were unable to pull ahead and conceded at a key moment in the second half.

Although Derby’s defeat in the previous round was a fairly painful 2:0, we can’t say that it was unexpected. They were vastly outmatched by their opponents AFC Bournemouth, who spent the entire match ahead.

Blackburn Rovers’s past two matches only feature a goal or less each. As such, you may want to consider an Under 2.5 bet – or even Under 1.5, if you’re feeling confident.

With 6 lost away games in a row, Derby County can’t be feeling too confident going into their clash with Blackburn. While triumph is not impossible, it seems very unlikely.

The two teams already met this season in the Championship, with The Rovers taking the victory. It’s understandable why most bookies consider them the favourites, though the advantage is not overwhelming.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

A confirmed Under 2.5 Goals market seems like a foregone conclusion for this particular match. The only thing to do now is to decide whether the relatively short 1.80 odds are worth your time. We would say they are because this bet manages to have real betting value as well.
