Blackburn vs Stoke prediction

Blackburn have won five, drawn three and lost five of their 13 Championship games so far, scoring 19 and letting in 20. That has them 13th on 18 points.

Their last six in all competitions read three wins, one draw and two defeats, at 1.5 goals scored and 1.7 conceded per game. Last time out they lost 4-0 to Swansea away; before that came a 2-0 win at home to Wrexham and a 3-2 defeat away at West Bromwich Albion.

Two clean sheets in that spell. At home they've won two of two recently (4 scored, 1 conceded).

So far in the Championship, Stoke have won seven, drawn two and lost four of 13, with 20 goals scored and 16 conceded, good for 7th place and 23 points.

Stoke are unbeaten in three. Three clean sheets in that spell. On the road they've won two of two recently (3 scored, 1 conceded).

There isn't much between Blackburn's home form and Stoke's away form. Five points separate the two sides in the table. Stoke also have the better goal difference over recent weeks.

We make Blackburn favourites at 36%, with Stoke on 35% and the draw at 29%. In truth there's very little in it.
