Match preview

Our model sees little between the sides: Blackburn 38%, the draw 25%, Stoke City 37%.

Our fair price for "Home win" is 2.62 — the pick only has value at a bookmaker price above that.

We expect 2.8 goals in total (1.44 for Blackburn, 1.41 for Stoke City), which points to Over 2.5 as a secondary angle.

Blackburn sit 13th on 18 points; Stoke City are 7th on 23.

Check team news before kick-off — a late change to either line-up moves the numbers.
