West Brom vs Blackburn Bet Builder Tip Reasons

  West Brom to win: The home side will be eager to get off to a winning start this season, and they have the perfect chance against a Blackburn side that might not be ready for the new season to start. Their continued off-field struggles have seen them weaken on the pitch this summer, and the Baggies will see this as the perfect match to get things going. West Brom finished last season with a 5-3 home win against Luton Town and beat Rayo Vallecano 3-2 in their most recent friendly. A home win is the main prediction for this match.

---

  Karlan Grand to have over 0.5 shots on target: The West Brom forward averaged 0.48 shots on goal per game last season, and we’re predicting he will get chances against this Blackburn side. He finished last season with three shots on target in his last four starts.

---

  Callum Styles to be carded: The Baggies left back was their player who made the most fouls last season, averaging 1.73 per 90 minutes. He was also booked twice in his last six matches so this looks a generous price for a card here. You could also play this safer by betting on Styles to make over 1.5 fouls.

---

  Lewis Travis to be carded: Blackburn’s Lewis Travis is the last of the cards betting tips for this one. He made 1.56 fouls per game last season and we’re expecting him to be busy breaking up West Brom attacks in the middle of the park for this match.
