Premier League: Blackburn v West Brom Odds and Betting Preview

BLACKBURN, UK - It's another massive game for Steve Kean's rock-bottom Blackburn side as they take on West Brom at Ewood Park. The home side are unconvincing 8/5 favourites with Victor Chandler to grab a crucial three points while the visitors can be backed to win at 21/10 with Paddy Power. High street firms Coral and Betfred are quoting 12/5 that the game ends a draw.

Steve Kean goes into his latest game as Rovers manager surrounded by speculation that he has two games to save his job. His side have been rooted in the relegation pile all season, and despite their fine 4-2 win over Swansea in their last home outing Blackburn fans continue to call for the Scot to be sacked. Their team is now 17/20 at Unibet to be relegated at the end of the season.

Today's opponents West Brom are far from mid-table security, however, as last week's 2-1 home defeat to 18th-placed Wigan demonstrated. The Baggies have won just one of their last six Premier League fixtures, although their away record is decent. They have managed two wins and two draws in six away games so far this season.

There doesn't seem to be much to separate either of these sides, and 1-1 is the most likely scoreline according to Coral, coming in at 6/1. Blue Square are 9/1 that Rovers grab a 2-1 win and 50/1 that they enjoy a second 4-2 triumph. West Brom, meanwhile, can be backed at 11/1 with Unibet to win 1-0 and 2-1 to the visitors is on offer at the same price at Ladbrokes.

Given their miserable season so far, it's perhaps surprising that Blackburn have led at half-time in a fifth of matches this term - Rovers can be backed to lead West Brom at the interval and go on to take three points at 10/3 with Stan James. Skybet are going 5/1 on the Draw/Blackburn combination, while Draw/West Brom is a standout 8/1 with Ladbrokes.

Blackburn's last four legue games have produced 19 league goals, and punters can get their money on over 2.5 today at 4/5 with Bet365. Ladbrokes's 2/1 is best price on over 3.5 and under 1.5 is at a 3/1 shout with the same bookmaker.

The battling spirit of Steve Kean's team has been epitomised by Yakubu, who has contributed 9 league goals to his team's cause this season. Unsurprisingly the Nigerian is 11/2 favourite with Unibet to notch the game's first goal; West Brom's Shane Long is close behind at 7/1 with the same firm.

The match starts at 1500 GMT.
