Blackburn vs Sunderland Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Steve Ashfield in Championship Predictions
Blackburn Rovers are fifth in the Championship and host Sunderland who are a place and six points above them. Can Rovers continue their impressive home form in the Championship? Here’s our match prediction.
Rovers lost 1-0 at Millwall on Saturday, losing to a 96th minute goal. That defeat ended a run of five straight league wins. Blackburn have won seven of their ten home league games this season with just two defeats.
A win here will be their third straight home league victory with the last two being won to nil. It’s a big improvement after a run of just one point from three home league fixtures.
Sunderland came from behind to beat Norwich 2-1 on Saturday. They are unbeaten in their last four league games and only two points behind the final automatic promotion place. A win against Blackburn will be their sixth away league victory of the season with three losses.
It was nearly four as they went 2-0 down at Swansea in their most recent away fixture. They fought back to get a 3-2 win but have only won one of their last five on the road. Both teams have scored in two of their last three away Championship matches.
We go for under 2.5 goals in this match.
