Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

There is 76% chance of Blackburn and Stoke a maximum of 3 goals combined during this Championship fixture according to our predictive algorithm and, without a strong favourite in the WDW market, we think that's a great tip here. Calculations are made based on recent form, historical head-to-head (H2H) stats and the view of the betting market, and you can go with it at a best price of 1.22.

Goal Statistics

Stoke City's defensive record is very strong, Mark Robins's men having conceded 1 or less in 9 consecutive Championship games. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.3 for Blackburn Rovers makes sense in this context.
