Best Bet for Blackburn Rovers vs Norwich
Draw | |
49/20 - odds when tipped | |
Reasoning With Blackburn regaining confidence but Norwich boasting a strong away record, neither side looks likely to dominate. A 1-1 draw feels the safest and most valuable outcome for punters here. |
Saturday at Ewood Park is shaping up to be a fascinating one. Blackburn Rovers, buoyed by their first league win of the season, welcome a Norwich City side desperate to shake off their home demons. The Riversiders’ 3-0 victory away at Hull last weekend injected life into their campaign after a rocky start, and Valerien Ismael will be keen to show it wasn’t just a one-off. Fans have been craving something to cheer about, and that win finally gave them reason to believe this team might turn a corner.

Norwich, meanwhile, have been infuriatingly inconsistent. Their form at Carrow Road has been dreadful, losing all three home fixtures including a limp EFL Cup exit at the hands of Southampton. Yet oddly enough, they’ve been far more comfortable on their travels. Unbeaten in their last seven trips to Ewood Park, with five wins in that sequence, the Canaries know this ground tends to bring out the best in them. Liam Manning’s side are also targeting a third away league win of the season, and that kind of record makes them a threat no matter how fragile they look in front of their own supporters.
The match has the feel of two teams who are both a little unpredictable, and that’s what makes it so intriguing.
Best Bet for Blackburn vs Norwich
Here at BettingTips4You we cut through the noise—no scattergun approach, just one strong tip per game. Our Best Bet is for the match to end in a draw.
Why? Well, Blackburn certainly impressed against Hull, with Ryan Hedges, Yuki Ohashi and Todd Cantwell all finding the net. They looked more cohesive than in their opening defeats and gave Ismael the kind of performance he badly needed. The arrival of new signings Moussa Baradji and Ryoya Morishita has also lifted spirits around the camp, with both potentially featuring here. Yet, consistency remains the nagging doubt. One good win doesn’t erase the stumbles against West Brom, Birmingham, and Bradford in cup action.
Norwich are hardly in great shape themselves. Their defence looked shaky in the 3-0 loss to Southampton in midweek, and injuries continue to be a nuisance with Jack Stacey sidelined and Liam Gibbs still not fully fit. Even so, their away form speaks volumes—they’ve already notched up two wins on the road this season and have made Ewood Park a happy hunting ground. Josh Sargent gives them presence up front, while Emiliano Marcondes can unlock spaces, but the Canaries remain inconsistent in both boxes.
Put simply, both teams come into this game with strengths and weaknesses that almost cancel each other out. Blackburn will feed off their improved confidence, but Norwich will be reassured by their away record. Neither looks dominant enough to fully take control.

“You’ve got Blackburn with a morale-boosting win and Norwich with their strong away record. It feels like a tug of war where neither side pulls clear. A draw is the most logical outcome.”
As for the scoreline, a 1-1 draw looks the safest call. Blackburn should find the net again given their attacking improvement, but Norwich’s ability to score on the road suggests they won’t leave empty-handed.
