Nailed-on…
Both Teams to Score is the bet that jumps out. Four of Newcastle’s last six away and all of Blackburn’s last six have featured goals at both ends. So the 4/5 on offer looks reasonable.
You’ll get a slight better 4/6 for the Away Win, but there are better ways to cash-in on a Newcastle victory…
Smart Money…
Blackburn’s last five home matches have averaged 3.8 goals per game, so taking the Newcastle Win & Over 2.5 Goals makes some appeal at 8/5.
But it is worth noting that seven of Toon’s away wins have been To Nil, which is available at a bigger 15/8.
The last three away wins have also featured half-time leads, so you might also fancy the Newcastle/ Newcastle option in the Half-time/ Full-time market. You’ll get 17/10.
Long Shots…
Looking at the Correct Score market, the 3-2 scoreline is worth considering. It has paid out in Blackburn’s last two home defeats – against the other two teams in the Top Three (Brighton and Reading). A hat-trick here is offer at 22/1.
As far as Goalscorers go, Dwight Gayle tops the list at 12/5 to Score First and 3/4 Anytime. But Mohamed Diame has scored three in his last four matches on the road and might offer a bit more value 13/2 and 9/4 respectively.
