Blackburn Rovers - Stoke City predictions

With 2.41 on home win, the ground is level and three points are everyone’s to take. However, we’d still recommend backing Blackburn Rovers who should end up victorious in the end against Stoke City.

The visiting team is fully aware of the challenge that lies ahead. A win against Blackburn on their home field would be a significant achievement, and it is never an easy task.

It’s hard to discuss Blackburn and their form without bringing up the previous round. A drawn-out first half against Queens Park Rangers culminated in them losing a home game 1:2, which they can’t be happy about.

Stoke City are coming off from a crushing 0:5 defeat at their previous away game. The match was a largely one-sided affair. Top online bookmakers heavily favoured Leicester City, who took the lead in the first half and went on to take home 3 points towards the Championship title.

With 7 concessions over the last 3 matches, The Rovers will definitely have to make some improvements in their defensive line.

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.

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

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
