Blackburn Rovers - Reading betting tips and odds

The online bookies marked Blackburn Rovers as the favourites, which makes a lot of sense. Still, we wouldn’t put Reading winning beyond them – not to mention that draws are a strong possibility in relatively balanced games.

With a price of 5.00 on an away win among most online sportsbooks, it’s clear The Royals will likely not fare well against Blackburn. Even a draw seems to be too optimistic for the away team.

Blackburn Rovers went behind in the first half of their last Championship clash. Playing away against a tough rival is never easy and The Rovers can even count themselves lucky to return home with a narrow Stoke City defeat.

The Royals will be looking to snag some points after the HT/FT home defeat they recorded in last round’s match against Millwall. To be frank, not many were optimistic about their chances of winning that bout, so they’ll need a better chance to climb up the $LEAUGE ladder.

The Rovers are on a bit of a streak when it comes to scoring. With more than 6 over their last 3 matches, fans are feeling fairly confident in their goal-scoring ability. Likewise, bookmakers online are fairly confident the Wednesday match will yield Over 4.5 goals.

The visitors’ main concern will be cutting down the concession rate. They conceded more than 5 times in their latest 3 matches, and bucking the trend will be a great step in the right direction.

Earlier in the season, Blackburn Rovers lost an away game against The Royals, though it was with a relatively small goal difference. Most betting predictions agree that things will go differently this time, especially with the 1.83 odds for a home win in mind.

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

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 2.15 odds offered at Betsson.
