There will be fireworks when Stoke City and Blackburn Rovers face each other in an eagerly-awaited relegation six-pointer. As Blackburn suit Stoke, our prediction leans toward a 2-1 home win. The Potters have struggled for consistency, collecting just 0.90 points per game in their last 10 matches, though their home form is slightly better at 1.60 PPG. They score 1.30 goals per match on average but have failed to keep a clean sheet in nine of the last 10 fixtures. Midfielder Tomas Rigo is doubtful after limping off last week, with Jun-Ho Bae likely to fill in.
Blackburn travel to Stoke-on-Trent sitting just above Stoke in the danger zone, having drawn 0-0 with WBA. The Riversiders have a slightly better overall record, earning 1.40 points per game, though away form has been inconsistent. They score 1.00 goal per game and keep clean sheets in 30% of matches. Head-to-head history favors Stoke, who have won 54% of clashes, while over 1.5 goals has been seen in 58% of meetings.
Considering Stoke's superior H2H record (54%), we are tempted to place our bets on Home Win, alongside BTTS and Over 1.5 goals (58% of previous matches had at least two goals).
This Championship match will be played on Saturday 11 April 2026 at 15:00.
