Friday, Ewood Park, 7.45pm, live on Sky Sports 1

LEADERS Blackburn are 5-6 with the likes of Blue Square and Stan James to beat Middlesbrough in the Championship tonight – and it's a bet worth taking.

Rovers are unbeaten in their opening six and a face a side who rarely impress on their travels. Boro, a biggest 15-4 at BetVictor and Paddy Power, were beaten 4-1 at Blackpool on Tuesday and previously went down 3-1 at Millwall.

A late Nuno Gomes goal against Barnsley maintained Rovers' 100 per cent home record and with the Portuguese joined by free-scoring Jordan Rhodes it should be an entertaining affair.

The Scotland star has scored in his last four matches – including three in two three for Rovers since his £8m switch from Huddersfield – and is a biggest 9-2 at break the deadlock.

I'll be having a piece of that as well as taking Rhodes at 5-4 with BetVictor just to score.

Blackburn don't do many clean sheets and there have been 20 goals in their last four matches so look at both to score at 4-5 with the likes of Paddy Power.

Recommendations

Rhodes to score first
(5-4, BetVictor)

Both teams to score
(4-5, Betfred, Blue Square)

  3. robbie d 12 years ago

    William Hill doing Rhodes anytime and Blackburn win for 5/2. Pretty decent value

  4. Robbie 12 years ago

    What do u think about blackburn to score 2 or more at 4/6

    • Mr Fixit 12 years ago

      Robbie, they’ll probably manage but it’s a bit skinny.

  5. Peter Brown 12 years ago

    Just went for Rhodes 1st goal 4/1 @ William hill

  6. Robbie 12 years ago

    Fair point but surely the skinnier the odds the safer the bet?

  7. Matt 12 years ago

    Omg looks like I’ve list £190 tonight can’t believe it come in Blackburn 2nd half!!!!

  8. Moussa 12 years ago

    Never comment on here just use tips mostly but just had to get some kind of reassurance. It’s half time in the Blackburn game now and I have 45 minutes for a Blackburn goal to win £4368.93 of a £1 goals galore bet that started with Wolves 2 Leicster 1, Reading 1 Tottenham 3 with the likes of Madrid 3 City 2, Montpellier 1 Arsenal 2 and Chelsea 2 Juventus 2 in mid week absolutely shitting it lol. I don’t have sky and I just wondered if people are watching the Blackburn game what they think my chances are? I know both to score has been tipped but i cant sit still four thousand pounds would be a great sum to me in truth. Many thanks. Moussa

  9. Moussa 12 years ago

  10. Robbie 12 years ago

    im just glad I didn’t get my bet on in time

  11. Moussa 12 years ago

    Gutted :( Blackburn are up there with my most hated teams now!

    • Mr Fixit 12 years ago

      Moussa, feel gutted for you. Big surprise Blackburn haven’t scored. All the stats and form suggested they would.

  12. Moussa 12 years ago

    I’ve never felt so lucky in my life aaaaaaaaaah!

    • Mr Fixit 12 years ago

      Moussa, can’t believe they scored. I went off for a minute and bang. A Scots lad too so well done.

  13. allan 12 years ago

    well done moussa! what a line

  14. Moussa 12 years ago

    Thankyou so much Allan cannot wait to collect! Won’t sleep tonight haha it’s my friends birthday tmo so it’s on me … Paul I will be following every tip u put up tmo my friend haha

    • Mr Fixit 12 years ago

      Moussa, word of warning. I reckon it’s a tough card tomorrow. Was struggling with the homes but aways looked better. So enjoy your winnings and don’t rush to give it back to the bookies.

  15. Tony 12 years ago

    @Moussa well done m8 !
    Right to the death as Paul said, that’s the beauty of this market.

  16. Robbie 12 years ago

    Do u all seriously believe moussas story, lmao.

    • Mr Fixit 12 years ago

      Robbie, I have no reason to doubt him. I’ve seen people win huge amounts on btts including my Line of the Week winner in the Daily Record this weekend. It’s a bet that owes a lot to luck as well as skill and plenty of people throw small stakes at tenfolds and above because at the end of the day you don’t need to predict a result just hope for goals. It doesn’t matter if your team is winning 1-0 or losing 5-0 your bets will run to the last minute and that’s why it’s so popular.

  17. chunk 12 years ago

    Took Boro draw no bet at a huge 11/5 easy 80 from my £25 stake

    • Mr Fixit 12 years ago

      Chunk, you seen something myself and lot of people on this site didn’t.

  18. Tony 12 years ago

    @Robbie- why not m8?

  19. Moussa 12 years ago

    Thanks everyone :) can’t believe they scored I literally give up. To be fair your aways is my favourite bet. Put what I can afford on it every week cos the good odds. I’ll have a look tmo thanks Paul.

  20. Robbie 12 years ago

    @tony it would be great if it was true but its a bit odd that his first ever comment on here is 4k win off a pound – get real.

    I would love it to be true but I doubt it. Oh forgot to mention I won 100k with that late blackburn goal. 1p on 100 teams. I’m so lucky ha ha

  21. Moussa 12 years ago

    Agree about this bet Paul. I play football Sunday so usually write a 15 team acc out on a slip when there’s midweek games on so the interest can last a week or so. I don’t know the exact amount but I added all the odds up on an online odds calculator will this be the correct settlement or do bookies add up differently? Love the site by the way Paul. Never been able to write on the site as I haven’t a email I created one cos I couldn’t sit still earlier kept flicking on and of live scores lol.

    • Mr Fixit 12 years ago

      Moussa, the odds are the odds so there can only be one calculation.

  22. Moussa 12 years ago

    Awesome Paul :) thankyou my friend.

  23. Tony 12 years ago

    @robbie hilarious m8!!!!!!!
