Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Match outcome: Leicester City to win — 1.39
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Total goals: Over 2.5 — 1.67
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Combo: Leicester City to win + Blackburn to score — 3.10
Leicester City have won three of their last five matches across all competitions and are likely to win against Blackburn Rovers’, who have three wins in their last six matches.
Yes, Over 2.5 goals. Four of Leicester City’s last six matches ended with over 2.5 goals, while Blackburn’s last game ended with over 2.5 goals.
Leicester City are the favourites to win, thanks to their current form but will do that without a clean sheet because Blackburn scored in six of their last seven matches.
The Foxes succumbed to a disappointing tight 1-0 loss at home to Arsenal in the Premier League to extend their losing run to two games after 3-0 loss at Manchester United. As a result, they have won three and lost two in their last five matches.
Leicester City have struggled this season but they somewhat remain outside the relegation zone as they occupy the 14th position with 24 points after 24 matches.
The Rovers won their third game in a row when they beat QPR 3-1 away from home last weekend in the Championship. In their last five games, they won three and drawn two.
Blackburn Rovers are currently occupying the 4th position with 55 points after 34 games in the Championship.
We say Leicester City 2-1 Blackburn Rovers. Leicester City will have the home advantage but it won’t be an easy game for the Foxes because Blackburn won their last two FA Cup matches away from home.
There’s a chance for Leicester to come out on top from what would be a difficult game.
Because Blackburn scored less than two goals in six of their last seven matches, there’s a chance they could repeat the same.
