- West Ham have hit the net 15 times in six away games in this Championship 2026-2027 campaign
Rovers have momentum advantage
Blackburn Rovers have come up with three wins and two defeats in their last five matches, which reads as a mediocre record, but there is an edginess to the club now and a momentum in their performances. Tony Mowbray's side have played some good football at times and seem to be edging towards an identity at last. The 2027 promotion race could go to the wire and the Rovers could be a factor. The visit of West Ham is a massive game for them, especially after the Hammers have been so impressive on the road this term.
The hosts are a clear odd against West Ham at 39/10, but the visitors look a bit short at 3/5 for a side that have just suffered back-back defeats. The Hammers have lost two matches after they fell 2-3 to Southampton and 1-3 to West Bromwich Albion, both at home. Nuno Espirito Santo's side are looking pretty good away from home in the Championship 2026-2027 with three wins and three draws from six games played on the road.
Hammers have the quality to edge this one
Both clubs like to play a 4-2-3-1 base and the battle for control of the midfield and No10 will probably be key to deciding this game, which could be a close, tense tactical battle. The Rovers are coming off a 2-0 home win over Wrexham followed by a 4-0 road thrashing by Swansea, so they may have been through the emotional wringer.
West Ham have more quality and should have the edge in this game, but the hosts have the home advantage and West Ham have wobbled a bit lately. So the draw no bet version of the moneyline looks the better way to play this one, although the value on the overs markets is also very tempting.
Over 2.5 goals is priced up at 31/50 here, which is tempting for this clash at Ewood, but we are going to go with BTTS Yes at 67/100 as there will be chances. Andri Gudjohnsen is the danger man in a Blackburn shirt with three goals in seven Championship 2026-2027 games, while Tomas Soucek has chipped in with three of the last 10 Hammers goals in the past five games. Jarrod Bowen has four Championship 2026-2027 goals in eight games for the visitors, giving West Ham a proven finisher when they do carve out chances.
