Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We can expect some goalmouth action in this one, but don't count on a record-breaker. Under 3.5 goals is what we're predicting, meaning there will be no more than 3 goals scored during 90 minutes. Get best odds on under 3.5 just below, followed by market-specific form statistics and head-to-head (H2H) records.

An away win looks like the most likely outcome in the win/draw/win market, with our predictive algorithm suggesting there’s a 48% chance of Blackburn coming away with a win.
