What to expect

We expect about 1.4 goals from Blackburn and 0.9 from Cardiff, so Blackburn come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.3 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Our pick: Both teams to score. Both of these carry enough of a threat to find the net (xG 1.4-0.9), and we make both teams to score about 55%. Expect goals at either end rather than a one-sided shut-out.

We put the chance of that landing at about 55 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.57, which works out at about 64 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.

West Ham crestWest HamvQPRQPR crest★★★★★
West Ham are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 2.7-1.1), and we make them about 67% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.
