Premier League live games 26 Nov: Betting preview

A few things to consider if you want to have a bet on this Saturday's live games:

Stoke v Blackburn - a few weeks ago this fixture would have been a banker home win but that isn't the case based on current form. Stoke made a good start to the season but have now lost 4 Premier League games on the bounce, including defeats at home to Newcastle and QPR. 19th placed Blackburn have yet to win away this season but have managed to draw 4 of their last 5 on the road. If I had to pick a winner I would lean towards 5/6 favourites Stoke but a decent case could be made for the draw at 11/4 so it's probably best to hold off and look at other factors in this game.

Both Teams Score - Stoke have scored in their last 5 home games in the Premier League, Blackburn in their last 8 away. Both teams have scored in all 6 of Blackburn's away games this season. It's 5/6 at Skybet that both teams score.

Under/Over 2.5 goals - 14 goals have been scored in Stoke's 6 home games, 24 in Blackburn's 6 away. Stoke have only scored 10 goals this season but have played 5 of the top 7 teams. Blackburn have conceded 27. Stoke's last 2 home games have seen 9 goals and there have been 12 in Blackburn's last 2 away. It's 15/16 at Betfair for over 2.5 goals in this game and you might be tempted at the 5/2 on offer at Skybet for over 3.5 goals.

Anytime goalscorer - Jonathan Walters has scored in 4 of his last 5 at the Britannia. Unibet offer 19/10 he scores anytime on Saturday.

Picks: 3 x singles: both teams score, over 2.5 goals and Walters anytime.
