Blackburn Rovers - Sunderland predictions

The visiting team is cognizant of the task before them. A victory over Blackburn Rovers on their home field would be a noteworthy accomplishment, and it is never an easy feat.

The visitors are conscious of the challenge before them. To come out on top against Blackburn on their home field would be a noteworthy accomplishment, and it is never an easy task.

While Blackburn can’t exactly be happy with their 1:0 loss in the previous round, a narrow defeat after an undecided first half isn’t too bad. After all, they were considered hard underdogs and played as visitors against Millwall .

Sunderland’s latest Championship match against Norwich City was full of excitement. Sunderland narrowly averted a disaster after their opponents grabbed an early lead. While the final victory is reassuring, fans were expecting a clean-cut home win for them.

The only observable trend we can see from looking at the hosts’ history is that their visiting games are rarely spectacular. The last two both ended with fewer than 2 goals in total.

Sunderland don’t seem to have any issues in the goal-scoring department. Their most recent records show they’ve score more than 5 goals over the last 3 matches, so they’re on a bit of a positive trend already.

We’ll have to use last season’s records for head-to-head stats and these are quite worrying for Sunderland. They lost their previous clash with The Rovers hard – the considerable goal difference was something no one saw coming.

Our advice is to go for an Under 2.5 Goals market, though it was likely not your first instinct. While the probability is rather low compared to what you’re used to from Under 2.5 bets, it compares favourably to the 1.65 odds offered by Betway.
