Can Rovers push Bournemouth?

Bournemouth are chasing a return to top spot in the Championship but Saturday pits them against the league’s form side. Blackburn top the form table after a run of six wins, one draw and one 7-0 defeat across their last eight.

Blackburn have jumped into the promotion mix with that good run and they’re coming to the Vitality as a real threat. Going forward the visitors look good, averaging 1.67 goals per league game this season.

Rovers have seen both teams score in 70% of their away league games, having scored in 86% of their Championship matches. The visitors sit third in the scoring charts in the division, a place behind Bournemouth.

The Cherries have seen both teams score in 70% of their home matches so backing both sides to find the net looks good here. On top of that, the visitors have lost all of their clashes with the rest of the top five and Bournemouth have hit 23 home goals this term, so back them to edge this contest 2-1.
