General match analysis
West Bromwich Albion have home advantage and sit 9th in the table, while Blackburn Rovers are 14th. The hosts create chances worth an average of 1.46 xG at home, compared with 1.15 xG for the visitors away from home. Blackburn also allow opponents 1.61 xG per match, compared with 1.07 xG conceded by West Brom at home. The defensive gap is also reflected in goals conceded: the hosts average 0.8 goals conceded at home, while the visitors average 1.5 away. Both teams have taken 7 points from their last five matches, but West Brom have conceded just 3 goals, compared with Blackburn’s 8. A draw remains a real possibility, as 75% of Blackburn’s away matches have ended level, but the hosts’ more solid defence and stronger xG figures make them the more appealing side.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
BTTS - Yes landed in 100% of West Bromwich Albion’s home matches and 75% of Blackburn’s away matches, providing a strong indication that both teams could score. The hosts average 1.8 goals at home, while Blackburn concede 1.5 on the road; meanwhile, the visitors score 1.25 goals per game, while West Brom concede 1.4. Average xG figures also point to scoring chances: 1.60 for the hosts and 1.15 for the visitors, against 1.61 and 1.53 xG conceded by their respective opponents. Recent form calls for caution: West Brom have scored just 0.6 goals per game across their last 5 matches, with BTTS landing in only 20% of them. Even so, BTTS landed in all of Blackburn’s last 5 matches, in which they conceded an average of 1.6 goals, so both teams finding the net remains the more likely scenario.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
West Bromwich Albion average 1.8 goals scored and 1.4 conceded at home, while Blackburn score 1.25 and concede 1.5 goals away, pointing to both teams having the potential to find the net. The hosts have gone over the 1.5-goal line in 100% of their home matches to date, compared with 75% of the visitors’ away games. The case for higher lines is less clear-cut: in their last five matches, West Bromwich averaged 0.6 goals scored and 0.6 conceded, while Blackburn averaged 1.8 and 1.6 respectively. With a projected total of 2.92 goals, Over 1.5 is therefore the stronger option, as it does not require both teams to maintain a high scoring rate throughout the match.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
West Brom have won 60% of their home matches, while Blackburn have failed to win any of their away games, making a home win the most likely full-time outcome. The hosts had a lead at the break in 40% of their home matches, while the visitors were not ahead at half-time in any away match. West Brom average 0.8 goals before half-time, while Blackburn concede 1.0 in that period, pointing to an early lead for the hosts. The attacking advantage is also reflected in the hosts’ averages of 14.4 shots and 1.60 xG, compared with the visitors’ 9.5 shots and 1.15 xG. However, the 1/1 pick is not a certainty: Blackburn were drawing at half-time in 75% of their away matches, and West Brom have failed to score after the break in each of their last five games.
