Head-to-head statistics West Brom - Blackburn
West Bromwich Albion: inconsistent performances from the team
West Bromwich Albion won their previous Championship match away at Wrexham 2-1. All three goals came in the second half after a goalless first half; the visitors held 57% of possession.
West Bromwich Albion are sitting in the upper part of the table and retain a moderate motivation to push for promotion. Over their last ten matches, the team have won four, lost four and drawn two, which points to inconsistent results. On average they score 1.2 goals per match and concede the same, suggesting a balanced side without a clear lean towards either attack or defence. In their last five matches, two wins were offset by two consecutive defeats before a recent victory, which confirms a lack of stable form even over a short run.

Blackburn’s average goalscoring record
Blackburn's 1-0 win at Bristol City in their last Championship match stands in sharp contrast to the shot count: the hosts had 20 attempts, the visitors just three. Blackburn had one shot on target, while their own goal faced seven.
Blackburn sit slightly below their opponents in the table but remain a competitive contender for the upper reaches of the Championship. Their last ten matches have brought four wins, four defeats and two draws, with an average of 1.4 goals scored and 1.3 conceded per game. Over the last five fixtures, the visitors have won three times, drawn once and lost once - their current momentum looks more positive than the hosts'. The trends point to a high likelihood of goals at both ends, with almost every match producing an exchange of goals.

Total Goals Prediction
In 10 of Blackburn's last 11 matches, the Total Goals - Over 2.5 bet has landed, which points to high-scoring games being a consistent feature when they are involved. The seasonal scoring averages for both sides also support the likelihood of three or more goals: Blackburn average 1.5 goals per game, West Bromwich Albion 1.2. There are no significant factors working against this scenario, given that both teams also concede at a relatively high average rate.
Corners Prediction
Blackburn have had more than 4.5 corners in each of their last six matches. That kind of consistency suggests they are very likely to do so again here. There are no statistical factors or trends that would point against it. We're backing Blackburn Team Total Corners - Over 4.5.
Both Teams to Score Prediction
Blackburn have seen both teams score in 10 of their last 11 matches, which points to consistent goalscoring on both sides in their games. On average, Blackburn score 1.5 and concede 1.3 goals per match, while West Bromwich Albion's figures are 1.2 and 1.0 respectively. Both sides find the net regularly, and there are no obvious factors working against a Both Teams to Score - Yes bet landing.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's calculations, the most likely outcomes are 1-0 (13.08%), 1-1 (12.37%) and 0-0 (9.47%). The 1-0 scoreline has the highest probability, but the gap between the top three options is relatively small. This suggests the match could be quite tight, with the emphasis on a narrow advantage for one side or a draw.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
Given the run of high-scoring matches on both sides - particularly pronounced for Blackburn, where both teams have scored in almost all of their recent games - the conditions point towards a bet on both teams to score. Both sides are sufficiently motivated by the push up the table, but their defences regularly make errors under attacking pressure: the statistics show an average level of defensive reliability on both sides of the back line. The editor's main prediction is Both Teams to Score - Yes. Predicted score: 2-1.
