Leeds United - Blackburn Rovers predictions

Leeds United are seen as favourites to win this match against Blackburn Rovers. The betting odds indicate an easy win and anything but a home victory here would indeed be a big surprise.

Though it may not be particularly attractive to punters, this match is at least easy to predict. Anything but a Home Win is probably wishful thinking for The Rovers, whose victory has been priced at a hefty 8.50.

The hosts are coming on the back of a narrow away win at Derby County. A victory was fairly expected considering the favourable betting odds, but they had a tougher time of earning the narrow 0:1 win than most fans predicted.

The visiting team lost their most recent Championship engagement despite playing it at home, though the Championship betting odds implied that the game could have gone either way. The scores were at a relatively predictable deadlock for more than half the match, but The Rovers eventually fell behind and had to settle for a 0:1 defeat.

With 7 goals in their previous 3 Championship matches, The Whites’s attacking players have been seeing a lot of success and top bookmakers online are backing them to continue the trend.

The Rovers are displaying a sort of consistency in their away games, though not necessarily in a good way. The past two ended with 1 or 0 goals between them and the opposition, for example.

Surprisingly enough, the hosts already lost to Blackburn 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.

The visitors have to contend with several injuries. Lewis Travis, Arnór Sigurðsson, Harry Pickering are the players that will be missing, which makes the Blackburn lineup somewhat weaker than usual. This is made far worse because they were considered undergods going in either way.

The 1.93 offered for Under 2.5 Goals bets in this match may seem a bit risky considering the market, but they’re well worth it compared to the probability of the outcome. That said, it’s a solid choice for value, but not necessarily safety.
