Blackburn to win
There is a 50% chance for Blackburn to win this game after winning five of their last ten fixtures. Stoke on the other hand are winless in their previous six games losing five of them.
Over 2 Goals
In the five rounds played in the Championship so far this season, Blackburn’s 80% of games saw two or more goals and the same number of goals were scored in Stokes’ five league fixtures.
Blackburn to Score Over 1 Goal
Blackburn are averaging 1.5 goals per game at Ewood Park this season. Stoke on the other side, conceded at least a goal in four of their five league games averaging 2.5 gaols conceded per match.
Blackburn
Blackburn were off to a flying start to the 2022/23 Championship season after winning their opening three matches. This was the best start for the new campaign by the Riversiders among all of the Championship teams. However, it was short-lived as they suffered two 3-0 defeats.
In detail, Blackburn played two back-to-back away games with Reading and Sheffield Utd and lost them both heavily. Now, boss, Jon Dahl Tomasson has to regroup his team for the next match as they attempt to get back to the Premier League after ten years.
Stoke
Meanwhile, Stoke City suffered their third defeat of the season after losing at home to Sunderland by 0-1. The Potters are having a weak start to the new season after picking up four points from a win a draw nest to their three defeats.
Currently, at the 21st position, manager Michael O’Neill needs to find a way back to winning ways before his team’s situation gets worst. They are now just three points away from the top ten, but that gap could increase quickly if Stoke don’t start picking up points quickly.
Despite losing their last two games, Blackburn seem to be the better team, and eventually, they will find a way back to victories. We predict this will be the match that the Riversiders will break the deadlock and win.
