Football – England – League One Betting Tips

Blackburn Rovers can move level on points with League One leaders, Wigan Athletic, if they manage to take all the points at Ewood Park on Thursday night when Peterborough United visit.

Blackburn’s impressive solid run of 12 matches without defeat in the third tier have helped lift Rovers into second spot and one of the automatic promotion places along with a useful five point cushion over third placed Shrewsbury Town who appear to have run out of steam at this crucial stage of the season.

Blackburn have been impressive at home throughout this campaign and they accordingly hold a very good home record of  13-6-2  41/18 which includes having won four of their last five on home turf with wins over Bury, Blackpool, Bradford City and Southend United.

Forward trio, Graham (13 goals), Armstrong (9 goals) and Antonsson (7 goals) are the danger men up front for Rovers.

Peterborough United sit in a disappointing 9th place in League One but still remain just three points adrift of Scunthorpe United and the play-off pack ahead of their difficult looking trip up north on Thursday evening.

Peterborough’s problem this season has been their inconsistency throughout this term, and this can be further highlighted when looking at their recent results which has seen Posh record just one win from their last six matches overall.

That win came in a 2-0 victory over relegation candidates Northampton Town, but defeats to Oxford United, Plymouth Argyle and Rochdale have prevented them from already occupying a play-off spot.

An away record of  5-9-6  29/26 along with just one win from their last eight on the road suggests a result at Ewood Park will be beyond them here.
