Blackburn Rovers - Sunderland betting tips and odds

With 2.33 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 Sunderland.

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.

The home team recorded a solid HT/FT victory in their recent matchup against Middlesbrough. They were the favourites from the get-go but, to be fair, the difference wasn’t insurmountable. Most bookies priced them winning at 2.50, so the 2:1 score is more than respectable.

Sunderland are coming on the back of a 1:3 in an away game, though it was somewhat expected given the balance of power. The first half against Queens Park Rangers was tied, but the late game went to the visitors.

Sunderland netted 8 goals in their last three showdowns, which means this match might be a great chance to look at Over Goals markets. With some luck, a confirmed Over 4.5 seems quite plausible.

The 2.33 betting odds for a home win paint the hosts as the favourites in this matchup, and the head-to-head stats agree. For example, the two teams clashed last season, and Blackburn won with a considerable goal advantage.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Wednesday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.91 at 888Sport.
