BLACKBURN - MIDDLESBROUGH PREDICTION STATS

Blackburn sit atop The Championship after 4 wins and 2 losses as they protect an unbeaten start to the season. It's not been all plain sailing for Rovers as they keep having to rely on last minute goals to get them out of jail. Scoring goals in the last 5 minutes of the previous three matches to preserve points shows their mentality though. They have three 1 goal winning margin and a 2 goal winning margin. Their games are packed with goals as they average 3.83 each game.

Middlesbrough are a real home and away side, winning all home games and losing every away game. Their three away losses are at a goal difference of -6 and include 1 each of a 1,2 and 3 goal defeat.  Middlesbrough have only kept 1 clean sheet in 6 matches and is averaging 3.33 goals per game.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Blackburn have a huge squad so these run of games close together should cause them few problems. The team is not playing well at all so to sit at the top of the league will give them confidence. Defensively they are struggling, conceding 9 goals is a poor return and they are having to rely on late surges to get them through matches. They will come unstuck unless the problems are addressed. They struggle with direct play and are hopeless at set pieces. Their attack is probably the most dangerous in the league, containing amongst others Rhodes, Gomes and Ruben Rochina. Only major absentee is Colin Kazim-Richards.

Middlesbrough are a real Jekyll and Hyde team and seek to address that in their fourth away game, with three losses from three games The Teesiders really need to start picking up the away points. The defence remains in dissarray despite it featuring top players, It was though they would have gelled quickly but this has not been the case. Shoe horning Andre Bikey in at left back didn't work last time out as they were destroyed 4-1 by Blackpool. The side will be missing Rhys Williams and Curtis Main.

1X2 BET BLACKBURN - MIDDLESBROUGH PREVIEW

1.83 (BetVictor) Blackburn win looks good value on the form and the massive home v away bias of these two sides. Blackburn have the confidence to play till the death and trust their forward line to deliver. The visitors squad is a level below their hosts and they lack all confidence away from The Riverside

ASIAN HANDICAP PREDICTIONS

Blackburn -1 (2.53 Pinnacle) is the selection here, although they seem to do just enough to win I think that will end here. Boro's heads drop and for a side packed with experience just don't trust each other. Middlesbrough's more passing approach
will suit Blackburn also who are susceptible to the more direct football.

TOTAL GOALS PREDICTIONS

Over 2.50 goals looks a certainty here with both teams loose at the back but dangerous up front. To find a quote of 1.83 (StanJames) is too good to be true and must be backed. The odds should be a lot shorter, with both team's matches so far having 43 goals in only 12 games at a very high average of 3.58 goals per game.
