Blackburn Rovers - Oxford United predictions

Blackburn Rovers are firm favourites in this matchup, and backing them may offer surprising betting value. It’s a very safe bet, though we suppose an upset is not outside the realm of possibility. We wouldn’t count on Oxford United winning, though.

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

Blackburn will have been pleased with an away point they won in the previous round of the Championship (HOME_LAST_ROUND_AWAY). They went against the odds(3.52) to take the first-half lead and surprise the opposing supporters. However, they ultimately failed to withstand the pressure and fell to a draw.

Oxford United lost their previous away game 3:2 after playing most of the match from behind. To be frank, the loss was a closer call than most expected - Championship betting odds priced their victory at 4.84, after all.

A quick look at the recent trends reveals a solid record for The Rovers, 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.

Our prediction would be a fairly safe Home Win bet at the odds of 1.80. It’s obvious the hosts have a clear advantage going into this clash, and there’s plenty of reasons to feel confident in their success.
