Blackburn Rovers is just outside the playoffs but I believe Stoke City are a better team than them, looking at the expected goals tables it shows Blackburn would be 17th best while Stoke is 4th on the expected goal chances created. Sam Gallagher is a doubt for Blackburn and they are still without creative spark Lewis Holtby and top striker Bradley Dack, so I am enough to take them on against one of the better sides in the league even if their league position does not fully reflect theirs through standing. Betting Stoke City +0.25.
