Stoke vs Blackburn Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Devesh Jaganath | in Championship Predictions
Stoke City will be looking to cause an upset against promotion hopefuls Blackburn Rovers when the two clash at the bet365 Stadium on Friday night. The hosts are currently in 16th place on the Championship table with 43 points in 35 matches, 12 points behind the top six teams, and 11 clear of the relegation zone. In their last match, Stoke pulled off an incredible 5-1 win against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light, which was their third win in their last six matches, along with a draw and two losses. However, at home, Stoke has only taken 19 points in 17 games this season with a record of five wins, four draws, and eight losses. Stoke did win the reverse fixture in August 1-0; however, their opponents have come a long way since then, and it will likely be a much more difficult task for the hosts to get the three points this time around.
Blackburn Rovers, on the other hand, has been one of the league’s most in-form sides over the last two months. The visitors have hit top gear at just the right time and have gotten themselves firmly in contention for a playoff spot but will also have one eye locked on hunting down Sheffield United, who currently hold the second automatic qualification spot. Blackburn is now currently in fourth place in the league with 58 points in 35 matches, and a win in this one will take them into third place overnight until Middlesbrough plays Swansea the following day. The visitors have now gone 11 matches without defeat in all competitions, with their last loss coming in mid-January. They are also unbeaten in their last four away matches, winning three and drawing the other. Coming into this match off the back of five consecutive wins, the visitors will be in great spirits and will firmly be expecting another three points in this one.

Our Stoke vs Blackburn Prediction
Despite their incredible recent form and league position, Blackburn Rovers come into this match as the outsider, which may be an attractive prospect for their backers. The visitor's last two away matches were against Leicester City in the FA Cup and Sheffield United, and they came away victorious in both. Blackburn looks excellent at the moment, and we fancy them to avoid defeat again in this one. Our Stoke City v Blackburn Rovers is a double chance on a draw or a win for the visitors.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
