Premium Tips

Andy leans towards Blackburn, with goals also on the agenda.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Blackburn or draw (Double Chance) and both teams to score8/5Blackburn have home advantage at Ewood Park and have been competitive on their own patch, beating Middlesbrough 2-1 and running QPR close, so the double chance covering a home win or draw offers a sensible safety net against a Sheffield United side that has an edge in this fixture. Both teams to score is the strong theme: four of Blackburn’s five Championship games have seen both sides net, and the Blades both score and concede regularly, with goals flowing in the recent meetings between these two. With Blackburn dangerous at home and both defences there to be breached, the combination holds up well.
Patrick Bamford and Andri Gudjohnsen to score anytime10/1This one pairs two in-form strikers. Andri Gudjohnsen has been an ever-present for Blackburn, scoring twice and landing four shots on target in five Championship games, so he is a live anytime pick at Ewood Park. Patrick Bamford matches him almost exactly for Sheffield United, also netting twice with four shots on target across his five starts. Both defences have been leaking, with Blackburn conceding in most of their games and the Blades shipping goals lately, so fancying both frontmen to find the net in a fixture that keeps producing goals makes for an appealing double.

How Blackburn go into the game

Blackburn were beaten 2-1 at Preston last time out, a narrow derby defeat. Ewood Park is where they must build their season.

Well-organised and dangerous, Blackburn will fancy their chances at home. A response is the aim.

How Sheffield United go into the game

Sheffield United were beaten 3-1 by Norwich last time out, a poor result. They travel to Ewood Park needing to tighten up.

Dangerous on their day, Sheffield United carry a threat but were leaky last time. A point would be welcome.
