Classifications and team condition

Rovers are having a very successful period. After the holidays they earned 8 points more, due to which they (18 points) have changed the last 20th place giving it to Wigan. But still they cannot feel comfortable, as they are still in the relegation zone. The positive thing is that they have only 1-2 points less than Bolton (19 points) and QPR (20 points). After a sensational victory over Manchester United (3-0) and CRC (1-0) the hope of the Newcastle fans was again raised. But the painful defeat to Fulham made the Magpies come back on earth. The football players from the St James' Park have 36 points, which gives them the 6th place.

The Argentinean Mauro Formica wants to leave for Olympiakos Piraeus. According to British press Rovers is losing to Everton in the fight for the 22-year-old Adrian Silva, who is playing at Sporting Lisbon. Other clubs are also interested in this player and the cost of the Portuguese at this time amounts to £5 million. Newcastle is trying to entice Ravel Morrison and the talented 18-year-old Manchester United player is likely to join the Magpies for £ 4 million.

Our free betting Tip and prediction

Each game has a double value for Rovers. The Magpies have been very weak for the last decade at the Ewood Park. Two wins out of ten matches is a result which will not have influence before the match. The guests will play without several key players. We bet on Blackburn just to be on the safe side.
