Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest there isn't an obvious winner here, but there's plenty of reasons to believe that Blackburn and Derby will score at least a couple of goals between them. We've seen goals when they've gone head-to-head historically, and neither Valérien Ismaël or John Eustace has subjected their supporters to too many 0-0s of late either. The bookies are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with top odds of 1.40 equating to approximately a 76% probability.
