Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We don't believe there is a clear favourite to claim victory here, but what is clear is that the odds suggest it'll have no more than 3 goals. Our statistical analysis says the same. Oxford Utd and Blackburn have taken part in a lot of under 3.5 goal games recently, and key performance stats point towards more of the same. We have confidence in predicting under 3.5 goals on Saturday afternoon, and the bookies have it priced at 1.25.
