Leeds United vs Blackburn predictions
These two sides haven’t had a draw between them in the last 15 league meetings, with seven Leeds wins and eight Blackburn wins.
Rovers have even won the last the last two games 1-0, just taking the majority in the last 15, but go into this gameweek sitting in 5th place a few points adrift of the Whites.
Though, Blackburn have a great record against Leeds, especially recently and away – with four wins of their last seven league visits to Elland Road.
They had won just one of their previous 21 games there so there’s a clear turn around for the Rovers recently who are looking like strong play-off contenders already.
Leeds started their year with a league win in 2024 when they beat Birmingham 3-0, and do look like starting 2025 off in the same vein.
Leeds United vs Blackburn betting tip
Both sides are in a great spot this season but Blackburn have only picked up one point in their last three, giving Leeds a huge boost in adding to their two point advantage at the top of the table.
Leeds are huge favourites to win this in the betting too, so they have to be included to win in a bet builder to start offering any value.
The last three results have ended to nil, for both Leeds and Blackburn (1-0 in each of the last two), but it could be a return to the scores seen prior with plenty of bigger score lines likes 3-2 and 3-1 with many more 2-1’s.
Leeds have only conceded 15 so far this season, conceding less than a goal per game – similarly, Blackburn are also doing well with conceding, only 21 so far.
However, they’ve conceded four in their last three games and could see more against the free scoring Leeds.
