Championship: Leicester City vs Blackburn Rovers 01/11/2025

Betting on Goals

The only two previous Premier League winners who are no longer in the Premier League meet on Saturday in the Championship in an early afternoon kick off. Both have endured a rough time since those heady days, but Blackburn fans have become a lot more accustomed to life outside the top tier than Foxes fans Rovers have been absent since 20/11/12, while is Leicester’s 2nd season in the Championship since their miraculous League victory back in 2015/16. They were relegated under a cloud last season and lost talisman Jamie Vardy to boot. Leicester are aiming to get back to where they were but are in 10th currently and are not in great form coming into this game, coming off the back of two defeats. Blackburn may well exit the league at the other end this term. They currently sit way down in 21st and had not won in 6 games before a much-needed 2-1 win at home over Southampton last Saturday. If you are looking for goalscorer bets keep an eye on Todd Cantwell or Yuki Ohasai for the Rovers. For Leicester Abdul Fatawu has hit 3 this season, and is winning over the local fans. I also like Jordon Ayew as well his Ghanaian and Leicester counterpart up front for an anytime scorer punt.

I fancy Leicester to win this one, but I am focusing on the goals market here. It is worth noting that both teams to score bet would have been successful in 5 of Leicester’s last 6 matches and 4 of Blackburn’s. Both seem to be confident in getting themselves a goal every week while neither defence looks that comfortable in keeping clean sheets. This makes the 1.90 you can get on both of them to score with 1xBet for this game very attractive.
