Predictions for Blackburn vs West Bromwich Albion

This season opener in Lancashire has typically produced goals at both ends, so I'll take a chance on BTTS.

• In four of Blackburn's last six matches, BTTS has been scored
• 7 of Blackburn's last 8 matches against West Brom have ended in BTTS
• 4 of West Brom's last 5 away games have ended in BTTS

Face-to-face

Blackburn leads WBA 54-46 in the head-to-head record, one of the oldest fixtures in English football.

In last season's corresponding fixture, Rovers won 2-1; however, the spoils were shared in their most recent game at the Hawthorns in February.

Form Blackburn

Jon Dahl Tomasson's side missed out on the playoffs due to a poor run of form at the end of the season.

A total of two wins were recorded by Rovers in their final 11 games of the season, and none in their last five home matches.

Blackburn have raised their game over the summer, with just one loss in four pre-season friendlies (W2, D1, L1).

News about the Blackburn team

Sam Gallagher is unavailable for Jon Dahl Tomasson, while Thomas Kaminski and Ash Phillip are unlikely to play. Both are set to leave Ewood Park soon.

Rovers are likely to debut Icelandic midfielder Arnór Sigurdsson.

Form for West Brom

With three losses in their last four Championship matches, WBA finished ninth last season.

Three points separated the Baggies from the playoffs.

There have been no wins for Carlos Corberán's side in five preseason matches (D2, L3).

News about the West Brom team

Following their recent arrivals from Brighton and Bordeaux, new signings Jeremy Sarmiento and Josh Maja are likely to make their Baggies debuts.

Daryl Dike and Adam Reach are both set to miss out for the visitors, according to Carlos Corberán.

My Game Predictions

Seven of the last eight games at Ewood Park have seen both teams score. I'm backing both teams to score at Ewood Park.
