Betting on Blackburn Rovers
Blackburn Rovers was in a playoff position, but a string of draws has pushed it out of the zone that gives the team a shot at the third promotion spot. That was certainly a bad run at the worst possible moment.
The team played a postponed match against Burnley, the current champion, and lost 1-0, extending its winless streak to eight games. Jon Dahl Tomasson has shuffled the team, but injuries and rest have caused Blackburn Rovers to fall apart.
The team doesn’t completely control its destiny, since it has to win its remaining two games and hopes Sunderland and Millwall to drop points along the way. Nobody said promotion would be easy.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Aynsley Pears; Joe Rankin Costello, Hayden Carter, Dominic Hyam, Harry Pickering; Lewis Travis, Adam Wharton; Ryan Hedges, Sammie Szmodics, Ben Brereton; Tyrhys Dolan.
Betting on Luton Town
Luton Town has secured its place in the playoffs no matter what happens, and has gone eleven games without losing. In fact, it is within reach of the Premier League thanks to its outstanding performance.
Rob Edwards took over the team in the middle of the standings, and is about to take it to new heights. This would be historic, considering that we are talking about a club that has never played in the English top division. It has been a long and arduous journey to get to this point from the Conference Premier, where Luton Town spent four years, then another four in League 2, and one year in League One. Can this team make the miracle happen?
After three seasons in the EFL Championship, Luton Town is close to the biggest moment in its history. Its last game gave it a spot in the next matchday. It was a 2-1 victory against Middlesbrough, a team Luton Town could meet in the final of this playoff. Hats off to the Hatters!
Possible Lineup (3-5-2): Etha Horvath; Tom Lockyer, Sonny Bradley, Amarii Bell; Cody Drameh, Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu, Marvelous Nakamba, Allan Campbell, Alfie Doughty; Carlton Morris, Elijah Adebayo.
JefeBet Prediction
Blackburn Rovers will do whatever it takes to win. It is a strong home team, having won 11 out of 22 matches at home and only conceding 18 goals at Ewood Park. However, the team will face off against the second-best away team of the season, with only four losses on the road and 25 goals scored.
Therefore, at JefeBet, we believe that the Riversiders will give it their all but won’t be able to defeat a tough opponent like Luton Town. That’s why we predict a draw in the upcoming Blackburn Rovers vs Luton Town that won’t be of much use to them.
Prediction: Tie (BLA 1-1 LUT).
