Wednesday’s Football Bet of the Day sees me head to the English Championship, and there’s one side that appeals to me to collect all three points against their struggling opponents.
⚽️ Blackburn Rovers vs Reading
🏴 Championship
⏰ Wednesday 15th March, 19:45
Blackburn will look to solidify their position inside the playoffs as they welcome away-day strugglers Reading to Ewood Park on Wednesday evening.
Blackburn saw their eight-match unbeaten run in the Championship come to an end last time out, as they were defeated 3-2 away at mid-table Stoke City. Whilst that’s now just one win from their last seven Championship matches on their travels, it’s a different story at home for Blackburn, with Jon Dahl Tomasson’s side taking 13 points from their previous 15 available at Ewood Park (W4-D1-L0). Rovers have found the back of the net in 15/17 of their Championship fixtures as hosts this season, keeping a clean sheet in 10 of those (59%).
Reading suffered their third consecutive defeat at the weekend, as they were defeated 0-1 at home by the side directly below their upcoming opponents in the table, sixth-placed Millwall. Paul Ince’s visitors have struggled all season on their travels and head to Lancashire tomorrow evening, having lost each of their previous five away Championship fixtures without scoring a single goal. In fact, The Royals have failed to score in 10/18 (56%) of their Championship fixtures on the road this season, as well as boasting the division’s leakiest away defence, shipping 35 goals.
Bet of the Day
Only joint-bottom Huddersfield (10) have registered fewer points on their travels in the Championship this season than the 11 Reading has collected (W3-D2-L13) – and I’m expecting them to return to Berkshire empty-handed once more against a Blackburn side that boasts the second-best home record in the division, collecting 37 points from a possible 51 (W12-D1-L4), with 10 of those victories coming across their previous 13.
To nudge the price up, I’m happy to throw in under five match goals, a selection that has landed in all 18 of Rovers’ Championship victories this season, as well as in 15/18 (83%) of Reading’s defeats in the league.
