Blackburn Relegation Betting
It was a big win for Blackburn as maximum points eased their relegation fears. The betting suggests it is down to three from four.
A first win in eleven games arrived just in time for Blackburn. A dramatic slide down the league since the turn of the year had threatened to turn into relegation, but the Lancashire side are now 9/2 for the drop. This is more than double the odds they were at the start of the weekend.
No one else in the bottom six could manage a win, but every team picked up points apart from West Ham. Out of the relegation zone on goal difference, Blackpool are still the bookmakers’ favourites to return to the Championship.
