Blackburn vs Sunderland: Top Free Betting Tips

After a much-needed victory in the last game at home, Sunderland visits Blackburn Rovers to play the next round of the Championship on Tuesday, 18 October. The Riversiders also found their winning form of away outings in the last visit against Middlesbrough.

Blackburn Rovers to Win

Blackburn Rovers have made the turns of wins and defeats in the recent attempts and won three of the last five. But the Rovers have been consistent at home as they won all of the previous three hosting outings. On the other side, Sunderland registered only one victory in the previous five duels and they are without a victory in the last two visits. Blackburn are also undefeated in the recent four hosting H2Hs against the Black Cats, winning one of them.

Over 2.5 Goals

Blackburn Rovers have hit the target seven times in the last three home games and scored more than once in all of them. Sunderland has also managed an average of two goals per game in the previous three visits. But the Black Cats also conceded two goals per game in each of the last two away league outings. Three of the last five H2Hs went over 2.5 goals between these sides and we back the same kind of pattern for this game as well.

Both Teams to Score

The Rovers’ front line has lagged in some of the recent away outings but they have managed to get on the score sheet in all of the last four home games. Sunderland didn’t make a run of victories but they have also been successful to score in four of the last five visits. The teams have also featured three BTTS patterns in the last five meetings at the home of Blackburn. Based on the current stats, we will go with the same pattern to predict our next pick.
