Preview

Match preview

West Brom welcome Blackburn to The Hawthorns in round 11 of the Championship, with only two points separating the sides in the upper half of the table. West Brom sit sixth with 17 points, while Blackburn are ninth on 15 points.

The hosts returned to winning ways with a 2-1 away victory over Wrexham, bouncing back from narrow defeats against Birmingham and Wolves. West Brom have been solid defensively on their own turf, allowing only four goals across five home matches, though they average a modest 1.2 goals scored per game. They must navigate this fixture without injured pair N. Galves and M. Johnston.

Blackburn arrive in good form, having won three and drawn one of their last four league fixtures, including a 1-0 away win at Bristol City. However, they carry a lengthy absentee list with six players sidelined through injury, including A. Forshaw, M. Litherland, L. Miller, Y. Ohashi, Y. Ribeiro, and S. Wharton. Having drawn three of their five away league games this season, the visitors face a tough test to take all three points.

Under 2.5 Goals — 70% confidence

The historical head-to-head record between these sides is defined by tight scorelines, averaging just 1.9 goals per match across the last ten meetings, with 60 percent finishing under 2.5 goals. Their two most recent clashes ended in a 0-0 draw and a 1-0 victory. Furthermore, West Brom have conceded only four goals across five home matches this season, an average of 0.8 per match, while Blackburn have conceded only six goals in five away trips.

West Brom or Draw — 68% confidence

West Brom have been difficult to beat at The Hawthorns this season, losing just once in five home league matches while picking up two wins and two draws. While Blackburn are on a positive run of results, they have won only one of their five matches on the road, settling for a draw in three of them. Blackburn are also missing six injured players, which limits their squad depth against a top-six opponent that has avoided defeat in four of their last five home head-to-head encounters.

These two calls are about different parts of the match (total goals and double chance), so neither one determines the other. The figure shown is the lower of the two — a combo can never be more likely than its weaker leg.
