REF’s picks

Backing Under 2.5 goals offers solid value in a fixture historically defined by tight defensive displays and low-scoring tactical battles. Both sides have shown recent defensive resilience, making a high-scoring encounter unlikely.

1. 1Recent head-to-head meetings frequently feature very few goals, including multiple stalemates.
2. 2West Bromwich Albion have struggled for consistent fluency in the final third recently.
3. 3Blackburn Rovers carry notable injury concerns that could blunt their attacking output.
