Blackburn Rovers vs Leeds United Prediction: The league leaders to continue their winning run

Leeds United hope to continue their excellent form when they travel to Ewood Park on Saturday. The visitors are unbeaten in 11 of their last 12 games. Can they continue this form? Below are previews, possible starting 11, expert betting tips, and odds.

Blackburn Rovers

LLLWW

Blackburn Rovers secured a 1-0 win over Middlesbrough in their last game, thanks to goal from Dominic Hyam in the 77th minute. The win was their second in a row after they had experienced a 4-game winless run. They sit 8th on the table with 25 points in 16 games, scoring 20 goals and conceding 17. However, Yuki Ohashi (knock injury) is a doubt for this game, while Andreas Weimann (knee injury), Balázs Tóth (knock injury), Arnór Sigurdsson (thigh injury), Hayden Carter (knee injury), Zak Gilsenan (muscle injury), and Scott Wharton (ACL injury) are all out of this game.

Leeds United

Leeds United continued their excellent fight for promotion with a 3-0 win over Luton Town in their last game. Samuel Byram, Joel Piroe and Daniel James were on the scoreboard. They have won their last 3 games and are unbeaten in 11 of their last 12 games. They sit first on the table with 35 points in 17 games, scoring 31 goals and conceding 12. However, Joe Gelhardt (hip injury), Ilia Gruev (knee injury) and Ethan Ampadu (knee injury) are ruled out of this game.

Expert Betting Tips

Leeds have their eyes set on the promotion battle, and I see them getting another win here for their aspirations. However, I don’t expect too many goals in this clash. Six of the last 8 away games for Leeds have seen less than 3 goals, and 6 of the last 7 Blackburn’s games have seen such results as well. Moreover, the last 3 matches between the two sides saw less than three goals scored.
