PREVIEW

Blackburn fans are getting more and more pissed off as Christmas approaches and you just rather than have Santa bring them anything, they'd like him to come take Kean far far away from Ewood Park. The Rovers have 2 wins to show this season, and it's just not good enough.

There is talk now of financial problems, with the club allegedly owing the banks £10m, giving this team problems off and on the pitch. Last week the club looked like they were about to gain a win, before Sunderland stormed back for a 2-1 win. They have a great chance here against West Brom, who could not manage to beat Wigan on their own patch last week.

West Brom aren't the best of travellers, and the number of goals they let in has a lot to do with it. West Brom have played 7 games away from home, winning just 2 and losing 3. In that time they have given up 12 goals. Their recent run has seen them conceded early, in the 1st half, in each of their last 5 away games.

Blackburn have 2 wins, both of which came at home, and if you look at them, they weren't great. Even when beating Swansea, they required 4 as they had conceded 2. The other was against Arsenal, again, netting 4 times while giving up 3. There isn't a single game this season where Blackburn have managed a clean sheet.

Blackburn have played 7 games at home, drawing none. They have 5 losses and 2 wins, scoring 10 but giving up 15. That's an average of well over 3 goals a game at Ewood Park. In total, Blackburn have shipped 34 goals, 2nd worst in the league!

BETTING VERDICT

There are going to be goals in this one, count on it. I'd say the easy bet is to take both teams to score, but as you might have guessed, that's been priced down. I'm going to go with Overs here, and if you take 2.75 instead of 2.5 you get an even money bet, which is nice.
