BLACKBURN VS BOLTON (Preview, Prediction & Betting Tips) / 22.04.2019
| Scoring two goals in each of their last three games, Blackburn Rovers are looking for four consecutive wins after beating QPR last time out. Yet although they’ve claimed back-to-back home victories just twice this season, Rovers have conceded the second-fewest goals in the ten-game home form table (W5, L5 – GF:12 GA:6). |
| However, they have lost five of the previous six home games in which they conceded, with each defeat ending 1-0. In fact the ‘Riversiders’ have lost 85.71% of their Championship home games where they failed to score, with 61.9% of their games at Ewood Park featuring under 2.5 goals (W9, D6, L6). |
| Despite recently ducking administration, Bolton’s club record 27 Championship defeats this term, as well as only four away wins, means the division’s second-highest conceders (74) will be wandering in League One next season. |
| Bolton have managed just three away shutouts so far, losing 42.86% of their awaydays to-nil. Furthermore, a 4-0 hammering at Derby in their last away trip saw the ‘Trotters’ concede two or more goals for the 27th time this season in all competitions. |
| Nevertheless, these teams’ last four H2Hs have seen under 1.5 goals with Bolton retaining the better historical record (W70, D38, L63). Victorious in just 27.38% of their 84 visits to Blackburn, which of these north-west rivals will have the last say of 2018/19? |
| Players to watch: As well as scoring in the 1-0 reverse fixture, 14-goal Bradley Dack (BLA) has three goals from his last six games. Meanwhile, Callum Connolly netted Bolton’s last goal (own goals excluded) five games ago. |
| Stat attack: Their last three matchups produced 22 yellow cards and one dismissal. |
| Blackburn have scored 78.57% of their home league goals during the second half. |
| Bolton’s average of 0.76 goals scored per Championship away fixture is the division’s second lowest. |
