Blackburn to Win or Draw
There is a 60% probability for Blackburn to win this game after they won six of the ten latest fixtures in the Championship. According to the stats, a draw has a 29% chance since Sunderland drew two of their last ten matches.
Over 2 Goals
Since the start of the season, 74% of Sunderland’s games produced two or more goals. On the other hand, Blackburn’s 65% of all league fixtures ended with two or more goals. That gives this bet a 70% possibility to succeed.
Blackburn 0 Goal Handicap
Out of the 23 games played so far in the Championship, Sunderland drew seven times, four of them at home. Blackburn won five of their 12 away games in the league. We will back Blackburn to cover the 0 goal handicap as they have done so 13 times this season.
Sunderland
With the 1-1 away draw at Hull City, Sunderland did not repeat the performance of their previous match and shared the points this time, bringing their winless run to 2 matches in the league.
Sunderland have scored an average of 1.35 goals per game since the beginning of the season in the league. As for Sunderland’s current form, the form statistics indicate an average number of goals scored per game of 1.50 in the last 8 league matches, which is 11.1% higher than their current season’s average.
Blackburn
After losing two matches in a row, Blackburn bounced back and grabbed all three points in their last fixture by beating Norwich 0-2 on the road. With that, the Riversiders increased their points tally to 39 in the third position, five points behind the automatic promotion spot to the Premier League.
Blackburn have been consistent in defense conceding 1.13 goals throughout the season. There has been a slight improvement in collecting points in their last eight games. The Riversiders collected 1.88 points per game in the last eight rounds which is 10.6% better than their season’s average of 1.70.
Blackburn will play their second consecutive away match after beating Norwich last time out. The Riversiders were impressive in that game and we can’t see why they won’t repeat a similar result. We will back an away win or draw for this game.
Sunderland scored at least a goal in four of their previous five home games. Blackburn conceded at least a goal in four of their last six away games. With odds of 1.30 at 1XBet, we predict Sunderland to score over 0.5 goals.
Sunderland’s Ross Stewart is the favorite to score anytime in this game. The 24-year-old netted six times in his eight appearances for Sunderland. He was the top scorer of his team last term with 24 goals.
Elliot Embleton of Sunderland is suspended for receiving a red card in the previous game.
Brittain, Vale, and Barnes are injured for Blackburn and will miss Monday’s game.
