As Blackburn Rovers<\/a> welcome Leicester City<\/a> to Ewood Park for a 12:30 kick-off on Saturday, both sides will be desperate to end their Championship<\/a> season with a flourish. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The head-to-head narrative tilts towards Blackburn, who have won three of the last four meetings, but Leicester arrive as the more potent attacking force, led by the goal contributions of Jordan James and Issahaku Abdul Fatawu. With defensive frailties on both sides, particularly Leicester’s low clean sheet tally, this fixture promises goals and drama as both teams look to salvage pride and climb the table before the campaign concludes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Both Teams to Score \u2013 Yes<\/strong><\/td>\n4\/6 @ Bet365<\/a>
(60.0%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe’re backing both teams to score because Leicester average 1.27 goals per game but have just five clean sheets, while Blackburn’s defensive resilience (12 clean sheets) is offset by a tendency to concede (55 against). Both sides rank well for attacking output and have key creative threats.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Over 2.5 Goals<\/strong><\/td>\n4\/5 @ Bet365<\/a>
(55.6%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThere could be value here due to Leicester\u2019s high scoring games (125 goals total in 45 matches; 2.77 goals per game combined with Blackburn), plus both teams\u2019 shot accuracy rates (Leicester 36.3%, Blackburn 32.3%) suggest finishing quality.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
