Middlesbrough to Win

Reason for tip

Middlesbrough look the best bet away at Blackburn. They are second and have been excellent on the road, winning five of their last six away league games. Blackburn are down in 19th and have struggled badly in attack at home, scoring under a goal per game. With the hosts also giving up chances and clean sheets, Boro should have the edge.

Middlesbrough 1-0

Reason for tip

Middlesbrough 1-0 is the correct-score pick. Blackburn matches are often low scoring, with under 2.5 landing in 22 of their 38 games, and their lack of goals at Ewood Park points towards another tight contest. Boro regularly win by fine margins too, with 13 of their 20 victories coming by one goal, so a narrow away success fits the profile.

Boro can nick it at Ewood Park

Middlesbrough are in form on their travels and can continue their good run away at Blackburn on Saturday. Kim Hellberg’s side have been winners on five of their last six Championship away days and are the best bet to get another win at Ewood Park.

Middlesbrough are second in the Championship, 17 places and 28 points above Blackburn, with a record of 20 wins, ten draws and eight defeats from their 38 games this season. The hosts are 19th with 11 wins, nine draws and 18 losses.

The hosts’ struggles up front are a major concern, with Blackburn disappointing in front of goal at home this season. They have managed to score just 18 goals in 19 home games in the Championship, an average of 0.95 goals per game.

The hosts have looked vulnerable at the back, failing to keep a clean sheet in six of their last eight home games. They have conceded 25 goals from 19 matches this season.

Middlesbrough are on a good run of form.

They can edge this, with a 1-0 correct score in favour of the visitors looking like a decent bet. There have been fewer than three goals in 22 of Blackburn’s 38 Championship outings this season, and 13 of Middlesbrough’s 20 victories have been by one goal.
