Leeds vs Blackburn Rovers Predictions

Leeds continue their push for promotion when they host Blackburn Rovers on Saturday. The Elland Road side have backed up their Premier League aspirations with a few home wins, but are they set to add another three points here when they meet Blackburn?

Leeds are currently third in the second tier following their weekend success against QPR. That 2-0 win has put them a place off the automatic promotion spots, while Marcelo Bielsa’s side are only two points off the top. Given that they’ve spent the campaign playing well without always getting the reward, there’s a lot for the hosts to be positive about.

Blackburn aren’t as well off, with the club sat in 16th place in the second tier following a mixed campaign. Rovers have already lost seven of their 15 matches in the league, while the Ewood Park side have claimed 67% of their points at their own ground this term. Will this be another tough trip for the away side?

Rovers come here with three straight defeats behind them, losing at tough grounds like Deepdale and Loftus Road. Now they visit a Leeds side who have won three games on the spin here, while the hosts have won three straight meetings with Blackburn at Elland Road.

Leeds have won their last three here to nil, conceding only three goals in seven games here and just eight in 15 overall this season. That record has led to plenty of low scoring clashes for the hosts, who have seen under 2.5 goals land in every home game so far, while they’ve kept a clean sheet in 53% of their league games.

Leeds have also seen fewer than four goals in 93% of their league games – each of their last 14 league matches. They should control a game against a Rovers team who have lost five times on the road this season, including four of the last five. That record has us going for Leeds to win with under 3.5 goals scored in the match.

With a low scoring game likely, we struggle to see how this one will be different from Leeds’ other games this term. The hosts have won to nil in three on the spin here, which has boosted their record at Elland Road. With 100% of the hosts’ games here finishing either one or two goals scored, we are backing a more comfortable 2-0 home win in this one.
