Blackburn Betting Favourites to Win

The bookies have Blackburn Rovers as -128 favourites for this Championship clash, with the Full-Time Result betting odds implying that they are 56% likely to win. Oxford United are the +370 underdogs, while the draw can also be backed as an alternative.

Backing Blackburn -0.75 at -100 on the Asian Handicap line means they need to win by two goals or more against Oxford for a full payout. A one-goal success would see you get paid out on the -0.5 part and money back on the -1.0 part.

For the Total Goals market, Under 2.5 is the shortest price for this interesting contest. For the Both Teams to Score market, it’s hard to separate the BTTS Yes and No options when it comes to the odds available.

The best football betting sites cover Championship games in serious depth and there are hundreds of markets. We recommend scanning through the various bets before picking out the best angle.

Yuki Ohashi Favourite to Score the First Goal

Yuki Ohashi is priced at +420 when it comes to First Goalscorer which makes him the favourite, while he’s also available at odds of +175 to find the net anytime.
