Blackburn Rovers vs Leeds United Prediction & Betting Tips | 30/11/2024 | Football

Posted on by Matthew Reynolds

Our prediction for this Championship match:

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers

Leeds United

Leeds United

All eyes will be on Riverside Stadium when Blackburn Rovers and Leeds United square off against each other in the Championship round 18. The Riversiders aim to build on back-to-back wins over Cardiff City and Middlesbrough, but they face a tough challenge against the automatic promotion hopefuls. Yuki Ohashi limped off with injury in the midweek triumph, with Makhtar Gueye being ready to replace him in the starting XI. The likes of Carter, Gilsenan, Sigurdsson, and Wharton remain in the recovery room.

Meanwhile, the Whites are on a three-game winning run in the English second tier. Following a 3-0 win over Luton Town, Leeds United are likely to stick to their attacking style of play and given Blackburn’s attacking potential at home ground, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Defender Joe Rodon serves a one-game ban for the visiting team.
