Brentford vs Blackburn Rovers Predictions

• Ivan Toney and Adam Armstrong have scored a combined 29 goals this term
• Rovers have scored in six of their seven away trips
• The last eight meetings between these two at Brentford have seen 35 goals combined
• Blackburn have lost every clash with sides above them this term

Battle of the sharp-shooters

Brentford and Blackburn lock horns this weekend, putting two of the league’s most clinical finishers head to head. Brentford’s Ivan Toney has 13 goals in 15 games, one behind Adam Armstrong’s haul from 14 games.

Blackburn striker Armstrong has been directly involved in four goals in five league starts against Brentford (3 goals, 1 assist). He’s a good bet to score here after notching in his last three league games.

Armstrong has fueled Blackburn’s high-scoring start. Rovers have scored 29 times this season, a league-high. They’ve scored in six of their seven trips.

The visitors should continue their high-scoring form here. Blackburn’s last eight away matches against Brentford in all competitions have seen 35 goals scored (16 scored, 19 conceded).

Given that form and having seen Brentford score in six of seven games at home, we’re backing both teams to score here, which has landed in four of the visitors’ last five. We’re also backing a 2-1 win for the hosts, as Blackburn have lost all their meetings with sides above them this term.
