Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Under 2.5 goals as a betting market simply means there will only be a maximum of 2 goals scored in total by Norwich and Blackburn during the standard 90 mins. It's a bet the stats below and the odds both suggest is worth considering, and an outcome that we've seen these sides produce before. In the absence of an obvious winner, our best bet prediction for this one is under 2.5.
