Tip and bets

1.7Wolverhampton's victory

Blackburn are currently in a decent slump, they have lost four of their last five League matches, and even the home field factor is not helping the team much. The Wolverhampton players will be playing with a decent emotional boost today after the victory over Aston Villa. Three points allowed the Wolves to leave the relegation zone in the Premier League, now they can build on their success in the Cup, where they had already defeated the Championship representative at the previous stage. We are waiting for the victory of the guests in the main time.

Our prediction is that Wolverhampton will win by a factor of 1.70

1.9Both will score

Bet on the total

Wolverhampton's defense cannot be called reliable – in just one of the seven previous matches they managed to win back to zero. Blackburn have well-qualified players in attack who are able to take advantage of at least one of the created chances. We believe that there is a high probability of an exchange of goals scored.

The second bet is that both will score with a coefficient of 1.90

Betting on corners

We expect the guests to take the initiative and spend a lot of time at other people's gates. Accordingly, it is the Wolves, in our opinion, who will make more pitches from the corner flag.

Prediction – Wolverhampton win on corners with a coefficient of 1.54
