Blackburn Prediction

Last updated : 15 May 2004 By Brian Cartlidge

Again this fixture is going to be hard for both sides, but particularly Blues, as they're away from St Andrews. Blues have picked up just 7 points in the last 10 games (0.7 of a goal a game) and have managed 1 win, 4 draws and lost a massive 5, conceding 18 goals and scoring just 12 - this just isn't good enough. Looking at these stats Blues will defiantly be up for it this weekend to give the supporters something to smile about.

Blues will be trying desperately to finish in the top of the table, which is the end we have floated for at least 85% of the season. On the other hand Blackburn have had a very mixed season, pulling off some terrific results, one for example; they beat us 4-0 in the league, on our patch…and been disappointed with certain results, for example in the 3rd round of the FA Cup they lost 4-0 to us, just a week or so after their victory over us.

Blackburn will be also looking to finish as high as possible, afterall the higher you finish the more money clubs receive.

Blues now have Maik Taylor available after a two game ban, and David Dunn is very unlikely to play, even though he really wants to - obviously.

This is going to be a close game, both teams will be going for the win and I wouldn't be surprised to see six strikers on (between both teams).

I should imagine there will be a few goals in it, so I'm going with a 3-1 AWAY WIN 3-1
