Blackburn will meet on Sunday, Stoke City, a team that’s right beneath them, only a point away.
Currently 12th Blackburn has 22 points in 18 games, home record of W4 D3 L2, scoring 12 goals and conceding 7 in those games. The team has been unbeaten at home for the past 4 matches, recording 3 victories and a draw in their most recent game here. On this very day, Blackburn have lost just once in 15 games, in Premier League.
Stoke City are currently 13th, with 21 points in 17 games, away record of W2 D1 L5, scoring 9 and conceding 12 goals in those games. On this very day, Stoke hasn’t won a game since year 2000 and has recorded 5 defeats and 4 draws since then.
While Blackburn are looking strong at home, recording only two losses, both of which came against Top4 teams, (Chelsea and Arsenal), Stoke City is struggling with the away games. The team has recorded 3 losses in the last 5 visits, but their most recent matches are a victory and a draw.

Around 61% of the home games for Blackburn have ended Over 2.5 Goals, while the percentage for Stoke City in the away games comes to 53%. The Over 2.5 Goals bet has odds of 2.05.
Blackburn shows good performance at home and has climbed up from the 18th position. Although the team has recorded almost as many draws as victories, against Stoke City who only picked up only away victory and two home wins in the last 10 Premier matches. The home victory seems to have appropriate odds and I believe that it’s worth going for it.
