Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest there isn't an obvious winner for this clash, but good reason to think Plymouth and Blackburn will score at least a couple of goals between them. That has been the case when they've gone head-to-head historically, and neither Wayne Rooney or John Eustace has subjected their supporters to too many 0-0s recently either. The bookies are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with odds of 1.20 equating to approximately a 77% probability.
