Data provided by

This weekend, West Bromwich Albion vs Blackburn Rovers predictions and betting tips serve up a tight Championship meeting at The Hawthorns at 3pm, with two sides separated by two points in the table.

West Brom sit seventh after a 2-1 win at Wrexham and remain firmly in the promotion mix, while Blackburn are ninth and arrive on the back of a 1-0 win at Bristol City. Recent meetings between the clubs have been close and cagey affairs.

Anthony Eadson expects a competitive, even contest and has geared his selections towards both sides finding the net.

Premium Tips

Two Premium Tips for a well-matched Hawthorns meeting between two promotion hopefuls.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Jimmy-Jay Morgan to score anytime7/4 (Sky Bet)Jimmy-Jay Morgan has made a strong start to the season for West Brom, scoring three goals and adding three assists in a well-balanced Albion side sitting sixth. He leads the line at The Hawthorns and will fancy his chances against a Blackburn defence that has conceded 13 goals and kept just two clean sheets this term. Albion have been scoring regularly as they push for promotion, and Morgan is their focal point in the final third. At 7/4 the young forward is a fair price to get on the scoresheet in a game both sides should find the net in.
Oladapo Afolayan to score anytime4/1 (Sky Bet)Oladapo Afolayan is Blackburn’s top scorer in the Championship this season with four goals, and he has been central to a run of three wins in four, the latest a 1-0 success at Bristol City. He operates from the left and drifts inside to shoot, and West Brom have conceded in five of their last six league games. Sky Bet offer 4/1 on Afolayan scoring anytime, a big price for Rovers’ most reliable source of goals.
