    Bet Builder Reasoning

    Wolves to win

    Wolves are one of the favourites for the title this season, and their squad has been bolstered by Premier League quality in Kieran Trippier and Raul Jimenez. The home side are on a three-game winning run without conceding. Blackburn Rovers finished in 20th place last season, only five points clear of the relegation zone.

    Adam Armstrong 1 + Shot on Target

    Adam Armstrong scored in Wolves' 3-0 win against Port Vale and is likely to start, given there could be fitness concerns over Raul Jimenez. The former Blackburn Rovers and Southampton striker has produced double figures in terms of goals in three of his last four seasons in the Championship.

    Mateus Mane 2 + Fouls Won

    Mateus Mane proved to be one of the bright sparks for Wolves in their Premier League campaign last season, and in the Championship, the youngster is bound to be one of the standouts in the division. Mane was somewhat of a foul magnet last season, drawing 1.7 fouls per game in the Premier League in 27 appearances.

    Todd Cantwell 2 + Fouls

    Todd Cantwell only made 22 league starts last season because of injuries, but in those 22 league starts, Cantwell managed 10 yellow cards and had committed 0.9 fouls per 90 in the Championship.

    Sean McLoughlin to be booked

    Sean McLoughlin received the most bookings of any Blackburn Rovers player last season with 11 yellow cards and one dismissal to his name. McLoughlin averaged 1.3 tackles per game from 44 league appearances last season.
