Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Blackburn Rovers to win either half: YES — 2.52
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Total goals: Under 2.5 — 1.98
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Both teams to score: YES — 1.76
The Riversiders Rovers are in better shape than Norwich City. The last time both teams met, Blackburn won 2-0 away from home, hence expecting them to at least win in one half this weekend at the same venue.
This game is unlikely to produce three or more goals because both teams are getting better at the back. Their previous meeting ended with two goals plus four from Norwich’s last five games ended with under 2.5 goals.
Although Norwich failed to score in their last meeting against Blackburn, there’s a chance they could do that this weekend because The Rovers are struggling to keep clean sheets, having conceded at least one goal in three of their last five games.
The Canaries have lacked consistency in recent weeks and for this reason, they are occupying the 11th position with 36 points after 26 matches. Norwich have lost three of their last five Championship matches, including a 2-0 home defeat to Blackburn Rovers.
The Riversiders Rovers are slightly better in form than
“>Norwich City and are doing quite well in the Championship this season so far. They occupy the 3rd position with 42 points after 26 matches and have won two of their last five Championship matches.
The last time both teams met, Blackburn Rovers won 2-0 away from home. Despite that, they head into this game as the underdogs, but I still think they are capable of winning one half.
It’s unlikely Blackburn would beat Norwich 2-0 again at the same venue, hence expecting this game to end in a score draw at full-time.
Norwich City have scored at least one goal in all but two of their last seven matches, hence backing them to score at least one goal against Blackburn.
