Stoke City
Match Time & Date:

21:00
Prediction: 1-1
Blackburn Rovers
All eyes will be on Bet365 Stadium when Stoke City and Blackburn Rovers face each other in the Championship round 36. The Potters rolled over Sunderland 5-1 at Stadium of Light, with the team producing their best performance of the season, and, no doubt, they are brimming with confidence ahead of Friday’s clash. Experienced forward Dwight Gale, who scored a brace at the weekend, will continue to lead the line for the hosts, while Ben Wilmot has joined Matija Sarkic, Ben Pearson, and Nick Powell in the recovery room.
The Riversiders, on the other hand, did well to beat second-place Sheffield United thanks to Harry Pickering’s goal, and seeing that influential forward Ben Brereton Diaz has overcome his injury, we predict that the visiting team will grab something from the match. The likes of Ayala, Dack, Wharton, Kaminski, Wharton, Mola, and Barnes continue to miss out with injuries.
