Blackburn to win<\/td>5\/4 bet365<\/a><\/td>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/td>The division between the sides tells the story. Blackburn are a Championship outfit expected to name a strong XI ahead of their league opener, and their quality across midfield and attack should be too much for a League One Burton over 90 minutes. Rovers are rightly favourites and look fair value at odds-against.<\/td><\/tr>
Over 2.5 goals<\/td>1\/1 bet365<\/a><\/td>\u2605\u2605<\/td>Both of the sides’ only previous meetings finished all-square and with goals in them, and this shapes as an open first-round tie. Burton will back themselves to have a go at home, while Blackburn carry a genuine cutting edge \u2014 there should be enough at both ends to clear this line.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n
