Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It's not the news we want to be reporting, but we're not predicting a goal-fest here. The statistics suggest Blackburn and Stoke both can struggle to find the net on occasion, and the odds are leaning towards there being fewer than 2 goals in total as they go head-to-head. We think they're probably right and, in the absence of obvious outright winners to back, under 2.5 goals feels like the right bet on this match.
