Blackburn vs Sunderland tips and predictions

Blackburn won't have it all their way

This should be fun to watch. The away side probably has the edge when you consider their chances and the prices available.

The hosts are seeking to put some of their tepid showings out of their memory. There have been a few performances suggesting there are leaks in Blackburn's defence. They have conceded at least once in all of their last 7 home matches. If they run in to any selection issues here they could be in trouble.

Sunderland have won 10 of their last 20 trips away. They have been solid at the back when on the road. Conceding an average of 0.8 goals across their latest 20 away campaigns has been impactful. If the away team shows their strength they can get the win. They've scored three or more goals in 2 of their last 3 games and assuming that they do not have any major injury concerns between now and the start of the match, they should have the quality to enjoy further success here.

Don't be surprised to see these sides ending up in stalemate though. The sportsbooks expect goals at both ends of the park as they can both be dangerous in attack. It isn't a particulary strong view but the BTTS No looks a bit more tempting for this encounter. And for fans of the goal line, it's Under 3.5 Goals that stands out here after considering the prices available.

The head-to-head shows that The Black Cats have won 3 of the last 5 matches between these two.
