Prediction: 1-1
Stoke City
Ewood Park will host Saturday’s football game between Blackburn Rovers and Stoke City, the two teams who are almost level on points in the Championship standings. The Riversiders aim to put an end to their eight-game winless run and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail against the Potters. Sammie Szmodics limped off with injury in the last league match, with Semir Telalovic likely to replace him in the starting XI.
Stoke City, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing each of their last three league matches. The Potters have already suffered seven defeats on the road this term and seeing that Blackburn are tough to beat at home, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. Ki-Jana Hoever has joined Josh Laurent in the recovery room, but there are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
