General match analysis
Bristol City have a slight edge to win: they have won 3 of their last 5 matches, compared with just 1 for Blackburn Rovers. The hosts have won half of their home games, while the visitors are still without an away win, although they have drawn 75% of those matches. Bristol also hold the edge in chance creation: their average home xG is 1.31, compared with Blackburn’s 1.15 away from home, while the visitors allow opponents chances worth 1.61 xG per match. However, a win is far from assured, as Bristol score just 0.75 goals per home game and have failed to score in half of those matches, while Blackburn average 1.25 goals away from home. The visitors’ high draw rate makes a share of the points a significant possibility.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
Bristol City have seen both teams score in 100% of their home matches, while Blackburn have done so in 75% of their away games, providing a strong signal for BTTS - Yes. The hosts average 1.75 goals at home and the visitors 1.25 away, while both teams concede an average of 1.5 goals in those conditions. The quality of chances allowed also points towards goals: opponents average 1.64 xG against Bristol and 1.61 against Blackburn. BTTS occurred in only 40% of Bristol's last five matches, compared with 80% of Blackburn's, so caution is warranted despite the edge for the scenario in which both teams score.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
Bristol City score an average of 1.75 goals at home, while Blackburn average 1.25 away; both teams concede 1.50 goals per match in these conditions. Their attacking potential is supported by xG figures of 1.50 and 1.15, respectively, while their opponents allow xG of 1.61 and 1.64. In Bristol City’s home matches so far, at least two goals have been scored in 100% of cases, compared with 75% of Blackburn’s away matches, although the sample size is limited. Therefore, Over 1.5 goals is the strongest pick: the projected total of 2.95 goals gives it a greater margin of safety than Over 2.5, even though the latter is also supported by the results to date.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
The most likely HT/FT outcome is a draw at half-time followed by a Bristol City win at full-time: Blackburn were level at the break in 3 of their 4 matches and did not lead at half-time in any of them. Both teams average 0.5 goals before the break, which also points to a balanced opening. Bristol City should have the clearer advantage after the break, averaging 1.25 goals in the second half compared with Blackburn’s 0.75. Bristol City also have the stronger full-time results, averaging 1.5 points per match against the visitors’ 0.75, while their xG stands at 1.50 compared with Blackburn’s 1.15. Confidence in the pick is tempered by the fact that the visitors concede an average of just 0.5 goals after the break, making a full-time draw a significant alternative.
