Our prediction for this Championship match:
West Bromwich Albion
Match Time & Date:
27/10/2018
10:00 AM
Prediction: 3-1
Blackburn Rovers
After suffering a heartbreaking 4-1 loss to Derby County, West Bromwich Albion will be looking to return to winning ways in the Championship when they host Blackburn Rovers at the Hawthorns. The Baggies suffered a dip in form, but a win over the Riversiders could see them regain their spot in top two. West Brom recorded five wins in previous six home games in the Championship and we predict that they are going to return to winning ways this weekend. Blackburn Rovers, on the other hand, have been struggling at the back on the travels and that is yet another reason why we are tempted to put our money on the hosts. You should bear in mind that the Riversiders suffered a 3-1 loss to Swansea City in their last league match played on Tuesday evening at Liberty Stadium.
