Blackburn Rovers - Huddersfield Town predictions

Blackburn Rovers are easily the favourites in the match this Saturday, but we wouldn’t call a Home Win bet at the odds of 1.82 safe, exactly. They are more likely to win than not, but Huddersfield Town may have a few tricks up their sleeve yet.

An away win in this match would be a huge surprise and an equally big achievement for Huddersfield Town who could consider themselves fortunate if they run away with a point in the bag.

The Rovers want to forget their previous Championship match. Playing away from home they conceded early in the first half and never recovered. As a result, the West Bromwich Albion away defeat is definitely something they want to put behind them as soon as possible.

The away team failed to leverage the home-field advantage of their previous Championship game and win the bout, finishing 1:1 after a drawn-out stalemate. A draw was indeed one of the more likely scenarios, but their home supporters were hoping that they would be able to snag 3 points.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and Blackburn 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.

A quick look at the visiting team’s recent history tells us a lot about their weaknesses. Specifically, we’re talking about the fact that they’ve allowed more than 5 goals over their 3 most recent Championship outings.

Surprisingly enough, the hosts already lost to Huddersfield once this season. This came as a bit of an upset, to say the least, considering they are widely believed to be the stronger team.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Saturday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.68, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
