Blackburn Rovers vs West Bromwich Albion Predictions

• West Brom have won their last three games, coming by an aggregate score of 9-2
• Only Brentford have outscored West Brom, while the visitors have conceded the fewest away goals in the league
• Blackburn have conceded twice in six of their last seven games
• West Brom have kept a clean sheet in eight of their 12 away wins this season

Blackburn bounce back

After a three-game losing streak, Blackburn were able to return to form by seeing off Cardiff in midweek. Their 3-2 win in Wales has boosted Rovers’ slim chances of sneaking into the top six before the end of the campaign. However, those hopes are under the microscope this weekend as West Brom head to Ewood Park.

This is Blackburn’s toughest remaining game by some distance, with heir final three matches coming against sides who are currently below them. Before that, they need to find a way to stop a West Brom side who have been excellent on the road in their strong bid for Premier League promotion.

Baggies almost over the line

West Brom are almost there in the fight for promotion. They hold a five-point lead over Brentford following the weekend matches, with just 12 points left to fight for. Having won three games on the spin in comfortable fashion, the visitors are on the right track to confirming a top-two finish. Having scored nine times and conceded only twice in that run, it seems like West Brom are back to their best.

The visitors come here having won 12 of their 21 away trips this season. Most of their issues on the road have come against sides in the playoffs, as from seventh down they’ve won 11 and drawn five of 16 trips. The Baggies come into this clash with the second-highest goal tally in the league, while they have the best away defence. That should take them to another win here, putting them on the verge of promotion.

West Brom to expose Blackburn defence

With the Baggies performing well at the back, we expect them to hold off the Blackburn attack. However, it’s the Baggies’ impressive record in attack which should edge this encounter for them. They have hit 1.74 goals per game this season, which means we expect them to prey on the hosts’ struggling backline. Blackburn have conceded twice or more in six of their last seven games, which has us favouring an away win in our predictions here.

West Brom have won to nil in eight of their 12 away trips, while they’re fresh from putting three goals past Sheffield Wednesday without reply. The Baggies have kept three clean sheets in their last four away matches, so we are backing a 2-0 away win for West Brom as our correct score prediction.
