Match description
Both teams sit near the bottom of the table (Blackburn 21st, Leicester 22nd), but Blackburn have been better in the last 5 matches: 1 win, 3 draws, 1 loss (1.2 pts/match) versus Leicester’s 0 wins, 3 draws, 2 losses (0.6 pts/match). At home Blackburn average 0.86 goals scored and concede 1.18, with xG for 1.33 and xG against 1.16, indicating a relatively organized home defense. Leicester away score 1.18 goals on average, register 4.14 shots on target and have a higher conversion (10% vs 7%), but concede 1.55 goals on average with xG against 1.59. Blackburn have more clean sheets at home (23% vs Leicester’s 9% away), though they also fail to score at home more often (FTS 27% vs 18% for Leicester), so the game is balanced and likely low-scoring. Considering the better form and specifically stronger defensive numbers for the home side (1.2 vs 0.6 pts/match; 1.18 vs 1.55 goals conceded), I tip a Blackburn win, but with a moderate number of goals.
