Betting on Blackburn Rovers Football Club
One statistic showcases the flaw in Blackburn Rovers’ campaign, which still keeps them in fifth place in the Championship: of the top 13 teams, it has lost games the most, with 14. Too many defeats for a team with good aspirations. In fact, it has the same number of goals for as against (41), which marks its irregularity.
The team is coming off a loss to Stoke City, which shattered an eight-game unbeaten streak and four consecutive wins. In only one of these nine matches did it not score a goal. However, it is a team that is strong at home, with the second-highest number of points (37), and a record of 12 wins, one draw and four losses at home.
Chilean Ben Brereton Diaz is its best offensive asset, with 11 goals and 4 assists, although he did not start the last few games as he is getting back into form after an injury.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Aynsley Pears; Joe Rankin-Costello, Hayden Carter, Dominic Hyam and Harry Pickering; John Buckley and Lewis Travis; Sorba Thomas, Sammie Szmodics and Tyrhys Dolan; Sam Gallagher.
Betting on Reading Football Club
Five defeats in the last seven games clearly show the poor performance of Reading, which is in 16th place, and it is one of the five teams that lost the most in the tournament (18). The away figures are even worse: it is the second team with the fewest away points, just 11, with 13 defeats in 18 games (and only 11 goals scored). It has not won three points away from home in seven games.
Tom Ince, with 9 goals and 4 assists, is its best striker in a team with little firepower, as he is among the seven lowest scorers (38).
Possible lineup (3-5-2): Joe Lumley; Tom Holmes, Scott Dann and Mouhamadou-Naby Sarr; Andrew Yiadom, Tom Ince, Jeff Hendrick, Tom McIntyre and Nesta Guinness-Walker; Shane Long and Andy Carroll.
JefeBet Prediction
Blackburn Rovers is very strong at Ewood Park and just finds itself up against a Reading that struggles mightily to perform on the road. Both team’s realities are at stake and will be confirmed in this match, which we at JefeBet believe the home team will win.
Prediction: Blackburn Rovers wins 2 to 0.
