Reading - Blackburn Rovers betting tips and odds

Though Reading definitely have a shot at winning this match, they’ll need to work for it. Blackburn Rovers are somewhat stronger, but the home-field advantage may be what the hosts need to shift the balance in their favour.

Blackburn are regarded as favourites, but that doesn’t mean they can relax. With an almost negligible difference in the perceived strength of these two teams, sub-standard play is a recipe for disaster.

The Royals are coming on the back of a decent performance in their previous away game at AFC Bournemouth . Although the game ended in a 1:1 draw, The Royals were trailing behind on half time. In the end, they managed to recover despite the fact top online bookmakers considered them clear underdogs, pricing an away win at 8.50.

Blackburn Rovers’s previous match was a nail-bitingly exciting show for the fans at their home stadium. They turned a slump in the first half into a resolute 3:1 victory against Derby County.

Reading’s recent performances have raised some questions about their defence. They conceded 6 goals throughout their latest three Championship matches and betting on Over 4.5 seems like a reasonable option.

Blackburn’s recent performances as visitors tended to end with a small number of goals on the scoreboard. Specifically, their 5 latest away games all featured 2 goals or less.

It’s clear that Blackburn Rovers are the favourites in this matchup, and they have the numbers to back that up. They faced The Royals earlier this season and snagged a decisive victory which they’ll be looking to repeat.

Fortunately, none of the teams’ players has been injured or suspended recently. With their full lineups at their disposal, we’re in for an exciting match.

If you’re hunting for betting value, a Draw bet is by far your best option. Success is definitely not guaranteed, but the 3.40 odds provide a decent enough return to make the risk worth it.
