Bitesize Prediction: Blackburn vs Hull – 19/08/23

Competition: Championship

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 8/11 @ 1xBet

In what could prove to be an enjoyable affair from Ewood Park on Saturday afternoon, Blackburn will welcome Hull to Lancashire this weekend.

Starting with the hosts, while Blackburn might have mounted a stellar second-half comeback away at Rotherham last weekend as they eventually snatched a thrilling 2-2 draw, the Rovers would have felt like they missed out on a golden opportunity. Opening the 2023/24 campaign with an eye-catching 2-1 victory at home against West Brom, Jon Dahl Tomasson’s men have their sights firmly set on clinching a play-off ticket this time around. Extending on their EFL Cup adventure earlier in the month following an action-packed 4-3 victory against Walsall, Blackburn have certainly gained an early reputation for their lively outcomes at both ends of the pitch. In fact, along with signing off their pre-season preparations with a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Girona on July 29th, Saturday’s hosts have seen each of their last four appearances across all competitions with both teams finding the net. Likewise, continuing on from last season, Tomasson’s side have seen four of their previous five Championship home fixtures finish in an identical outcome.

As for the visitors, although Hull might have opened the 2023/24 campaign in the midst of an early wobble, Hull certainly came roading back last weekend. Eventually claiming an action-packed 4-2 victory at home against Sheffield United, the Tigers are now desperate to find some much-needed stability. However, crashing out of the EFL Cup following a shock 2-1 defeat at home against Doncaster, Liam Rosenior’s men have continued to gain a reputation for their extended defensive issues. Opening the new season with a lively 2-1 loss against Norwich, neutrals could be treated to a thrilling affair this weekend. Signing off their pre-season preparations with a 1-1 draw against Ligue 1 outfit Nantes, it should be noted that Hull have now seen each of their last six appearances across all formats finish with both teams getting on the scoresheet. Likewise, with Rosenior’s side seeing four of their final six away fixtures finish in an identical outcome, we are expecting chances to come thick and fast here.
