What to expect

We expect about 1.3 goals from West Brom and 0.8 from Blackburn, so West Brom come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.1 goals in the game, so we are braced for a tight one where good chances are rare.

West Brom come into this on three straight defeats. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Not both teams to score. This shapes up as a quiet, low-key game — around 2.1 goals between the two (xG 1.3-0.8). One side keeping it tight for a clean sheet is well on the cards.

We put the chance of that landing at about 54 out of 100. There is no settled price to hold that up against yet, so treat the call on its own terms.

Burnley are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 1.5-0.9), and we make them about 60% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.
