West Bromwich Albion - Blackburn Rovers predictions

The odds are definitely leaning in the hosts’ favour, but this match is far from a done deal. Judging by odds alone, Blackburn Rovers may yet be able to walk away with a draw or even a surprise victory – though it’s still a longshot.

The odds are stacked heavily against Blackburn Rovers here, and we can’t see them winning this match. West Bromwich Albion are heavily favoured by most betting predictions – so much so that an away bet is priced at around 4.75.

The Baggies are coming on the back of an unsatisfying away defeat in the previous round. Top online sportsbooks priced their victory as the most likely outcome, but they never quite managed to pull ahead in the first half. After falling behind in the latter half of the game, they had to settle for a narrow 1:0 loss.

The away team didn’t fare all that well the last time out at their home stadium against Rotherham United, as both teams went home with a rather lukewarm single point. Whether this round will be any better remains to be seen, but everyone’s hoping for a more charged outing.

The The Baggies side have been rather passive lately, with two unexciting matches with less than 2 total goals behind them.

The Rovers may need to work on their defence if they want to get anywhere. In the 3 most recent matches they played, they conceded more than 5 times in total, which is not a good record to have.

Despite the 1.74 price for a home win, the hosts lost their previous match against Blackburn Rovers. However, it’s important to keep in mind that they were the visitors in that bout.

This Saturday, both teams will have a full roster available to them, thanks to the absence of injuries or suspensions.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the Betfair priced at 2.14 odds.
