Stoke City
Blackburn Rovers host Stoke City at Ewood Park on Tuesday 3 November, kick-off 7.45pm, as a mid-table Rovers side look to make home advantage count in a tight Championship table.
Stoke City arrive seventh and five points better off than 13th-placed Blackburn, yet the Potters’ away form has been patchy and the Lancashire club have lost just twice at home all season. Anthony Eadson has gone through the numbers and landed on two Premium Tips for Tuesday night.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson has found two angles he likes at Ewood Park, leaning on Blackburn’s home strength and the physical nature of the contest.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Blackburn Rovers Draw No Bet | 5/6 (Paddy Power) | Blackburn have won four of six at Ewood Park and lost just twice at home all season, scoring 11 goals in the process. Draw No Bet gives us a safety net if Stoke nick a share of the spoils. That matters because the Potters have drawn one and lost just two of six on the road. Andri Gudjohnsen has eight goals already and leads a front line that has punished Cardiff City and Wrexham at home. At a shade of odds-against with the stake returned on a draw, the hosts make plenty of sense. |
| Todd Cantwell to be carded | 3/1 (bet365) | Cantwell has started all 13 league games. Moreover, the Blackburn midfield will have to scrap for control against a Stoke side featuring the combative Ethan Galbraith. Tuesday-night Championship meetings of this type rarely pass without a flurry of bookings. Also, the Rovers playmaker has long worn his heart on his sleeve. His willingness to get stuck in, chase lost causes and dispute decisions with officials makes him a fair price at 3/1 to go into the referee’s notebook before the night is out. |

How Blackburn Rovers go into the game
Blackburn Rovers sit 13th on 18 points, with five wins, three draws and five defeats from their opening 13 games.
Rovers have been a different proposition at Ewood Park, where they have won four of six, drawn none and lost twice, scoring 11 and conceding seven. Andri Gudjohnsen leads the line and the scoring charts with eight goals. Furthermore, home wins over Cardiff City (2-1) and Wrexham (2-0) show what this side can do in front of their own fans.
The concern is the road form. A 4-0 defeat at Swansea City last time out was their heaviest of the campaign. Meanwhile, they have won only once in seven away from home.
How Stoke City go into the game
Stoke City have made the better start, sitting seventh on 23 points from seven wins, two draws and four defeats.
The Potters warmed up for this trip by beating Preston North End 2-0 at home. Before that they drew 0-0 with Bristol City at home and won by a single goal away at Derby County. On the road they have won three, drawn one and lost two. Also, they have shared their goals around, with Ethan Galbraith and Jack McGlynn leading the way on three apiece.
Five clean sheets is a respectable return, though they have conceded 10 in six away games.

These two have been hard to separate of late. Both of the last two league meetings finished all square. However, Stoke edge the last five Championship encounters with two wins to Blackburn’s one.
