Command Analysis

Blackburn Rovers

England

Current form

Before the start of the season, Blackburn were considered one of the contenders for a playoff spot – the selection of players allowed them to set such ambitious plans. At the moment, John Eustace team justifies this status and occupies seventh place in the table with 39 points, lagging behind sixth-placed West Bromwich due to additional indicators, but the Blackbirds have played one match more. In the last round, Blackburn snatched a 1:1 draw with Leeds away, but thus extended the series without victories in the championship to four matches, two of which ended in defeats.

Carter, Oyashi, Sigurdsson, Travis and Wharton are injured.

Interesting trends for betting

Blackburn have not won in their last four matches – two defeats and two draws

Tip and bets

1.61handicap (0) at Burnley

Burnley are in good form, unbeaten in 12 games in a row, but in the last two games the Clarets have clearly fallen short, failing to beat their lesser opponents. It is obvious that the visitors will be highly motivated today – another failure could push Burnley out of the direct qualification zone for the Premier League. The Clarets are quite capable of taking their three points – Blackburn have looked frankly weak lately, and the Blue-Whites are significantly inferior in terms of player selection, it makes sense to give preference to the visitors.

We believe that the visitors have a better chance of winning. Forecast - Asian handicap (0) on Burnley . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.61

2.05both will score

Bet on total

Burnley will undoubtedly be determined today and will not be satisfied with any result other than victory. The Clarets have had problems with scoring in recent matches, but today this series will probably be interrupted – Blackburn are not particularly reliable in defense. At the same time, the Blue-Whites will probably also take risks and strive to cling to points – the hosts have high-level players in attack, they are capable of responding with one goal.

Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 2.05

Bet on corners

Burnley are the favourites and will probably spend most of the match attacking – the visitors should win confidently on corners.

The bet is Burnley to win on corners. This bet is offered at 1.85
