Monday football tips: Bruce's Baggies aim to topple Championship rivals

Steve Bruce's first Championship game in charge of West Brom ended in a 2-0 defeat at Sheffield United but the Baggies are favourites to take three points at home to Blackburn.

Rovers are third in the table but have scored only twice in seven matches in 2022 and a tight contest is expected while there are also games in Serie A and La Liga on Monday.

Bet of the day

Over 2.5 goals in Spezia v Fiorentina BT Sport 1, 7.45pm Monday

Fiorentina won 3-2 at Atalanta in last week's Coppa Italia quarter-final and, having scored 15 times in their last five matches, La Viola should be involved in another entertaining game at Spezia.

Cards bet of the day

West Brom v Blackburn
Sky Sports Football & Main Event, 8pm Monday

This should be an uncompromising Championship contest and Jayson Molumby, deputising for the suspended Jake Livermore, looks a likely yellow-card candidate. The West Brom midfielder has made only eight league starts this season but has still racked up five bookings and one sending-off.

Best bet
Jayson Molumby to be shown a card

Stat of the day

Mallorca v Athletic Bilbao LaLigaTV, 8pm Monday

Athletic Bilbao's 12 away matches in La Liga have produced only 13 goals.
