Match result prediction: Blackburn to win
Both Blackburn and Sunderland enter this meeting on the back of three wins from their last four matches. While the Black Cats are unbeaten in this period, the Rovers have an away defeat. Looking further down, the hosts have three wins in four outings at Ewood Park. On the other hand, Sunderland has only one win to show for from their last three away trips. Moreover, the last two encounters at this venue also finished in favour of Blackburn.
Total goals prediction: Over 3.5 Goals
In their last three competitive matches, Blackburn have scored an impressive 10 goals while conceding only four strikes. Sunderland has been in a good mood as well with eight goals scored and only one shipped in. With both sides scoring goals in bulk, we are expecting a high-scoring affair, one that finishes with over 3.5 goals. There is value to be had in expecting at least three goals.
Correct score prediction: 3-2 to Blackburn
Six of the last nine duels between these sides have concluded with Over 2.5 goals. We believe there will be a goal fiesta this time, with both sides averaging over 2 goals in their last three outings. Fine margins will decide the duel and thanks to the home support we expect Blackburn to claim the three points on offer in a 3-2 scoreline.
