Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We think it's fairly unlikely that this match will deliver more than 3 goals at most, and the odds and stats point in the same direction as KO's predictive algorithm on this one. Oxford Utd and Blackburn have seldom treated their fans to thrillers of late, whether that be in the Championship individually or in head-to-head clashes. So, without a convincing favourite draw or double chance market, we're recommending under 3.5 goals. You can go for that at a best price of 1.22.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Oxford Utd are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 38% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 2.70.
