What are the Best Odds on Wolves v Blackburn?

The Spreadex Sports fixed odds Match Odds betting prices have Wolves as solid 8/15 favourites to secure a victory while our 2 Up early pay out market, which pays out when a team goes two goals up, has them at 1/2.

Blackburn meanwhile are available at 24/5 for the away victory (27/4 on our 2 Up market), with the draw at 16/5.

These sides last met in 2025 in the FA Cup, which saw Wolves grab a 2-0 win, while the last three league meetings have all ended in draws.

Of the last 10 meetings, four saw Both Teams Scoring, and you can back Both to Score - No at 5/6 here, or Yes at the same price.

Wolves v Blackburn Football Spread Betting Prices

Our football spread betting prices have the Goal Supremacy as Wolves/Blackburn 1 - 1.2. This means if Wolves won 4-1 (or by any other three goal margin), a 'buy' bet at 1.2 would mean a return of 1.8x your initial stake.

However, if you bought at 1.2 in Wolves' favour and the match ended goalless, you would lose 1.2x your stake. Or, if Blackburn were to grab a 1-0 (or any other one goal margin) win, the market would settle negatively at -1 and a buy at 1.2 would result in a loss of 2.2x your opening stake.

You can calculate various make-ups by using our handy spread betting calculator, found here.

Our spread betting Total Goals line is 2.75 - 2.95. So a 2.95 'buy' bet would need at least three goals to be scored in the match to start turning a profit. Conversely, a 2.75 sell bet would need less than three goals to be scored in the match to turn a profit.

Remember that with spread betting, get the bet wrong and losses can exceed your stake/deposit. E.g. a 2.95 'buy' Total Goals bet would lose 2.95x your opening stake if the match ended 0-0, and so on.
