Blackburn and Stoke open Tuesday night with one of the quieter referees of the round and a builder that leans on shots rather than cards.
Below are the free bets worth claiming for it, then our tips from the stats, and a bet builder you can put a free bet on.

Blackburn vs Stoke Betting Offers
Which offer suits you depends on the bet you actually want to place, and that is worth thirty seconds of thought rather than taking the biggest number on the page.
- Backing the bet builder below — Betfred, because £20 of the £50 is specifically Bet Builder free bets, and the qualifying bet at evens is easy to meet with a builder of two or three legs.
- Backing one selection at a bigger price — SBK, whose qualifying bet has to be at 3.0 or bigger, which a single card or shots line will clear on its own.
- Staking as little as possible — Ladbrokes, £5 to get £30, and the lowest qualifying price of the group at 1/2.

| 4 | Ben Wilmot 1+ Shots6 of his last 10, 0.8 per 90Why this Leg |
Four legs – two shots on target, a shots line and a single card – each off the player’s own record over his last ten. None of the per-90 rates is large, so this is a builder of steady hit rates rather than big numbers.

- Ethan Galbraith 1+ Shot on Target — 5 of his last 10, 0.54 per 90
