Blackburn Rovers Stoke City betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This game puts on the pitch two teams that show low average goals conceded in these conditions, and in addition, they have game models with some flaws. Still, and playing at home, we expect a Blackburn Rovers with more initiative in the match, attacking in a more organized way, however, but with difficulties when finalizing. It should be noted that 82% of Stoke City's away games ended with less than three goals in the late 90'.
