Leicester City - Blackburn Rovers predictions

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 1.68, 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.

From the current standpoint, the situation is obvious. Given the strength of Leicester City and the 5.25 odds given to Blackburn Rovers to win, it is easy to see that a win for the visiting team would be a stunning surprise.

The latest showing from Leicester can be called a tour de force. Preston North End were somewhat weaker opponents, true, but 0:3 result in an away game deserves nothing but praise.

The visiting team are here on the back of a somewhat disappointing draw. They had the home-field advantage for that bout, and their supporters were hoping that would be enough for them to overcome Coventry City. Unfortunately for them, the whole game was a protracted stalemate, ending with 0:0 on the scoreboard.

A quick look at the recent trends reveals a solid record for The Foxes, who have managed to score 5 times in their previous 3 matches. This means that markets like BTTS or Over 5 Goals are worth your attention.

Considering the away team’s recent history, it seems they don’t play their best when they’re visitors. The previous 3 times were marked by 5 goals conceded and the negative trend will probably continue.

Looking over the head-to-head statistics for this Championship season, the hosts already recorded a victory over Blackburn. This puts them ahead of their opponents, which is reflected in the betting odds.

Saturday's matchup will feature both teams at full strength, allowing for a fair and competitive game.

Though some punters may prefer more exciting options, the Under 3.5 Goals market is a solid opportunity for this fixture. It offers a surprisingly solid balance between risk and betting value – though the returns on their own aren’t much to look at.
