Blackburn vs Newcastle Prediction & Betting tips
Repeat games have a long and significant tradition in the FA Cup. A total of 14 times even had a “Replay” serve in the final, as the Englishman calls the new edition, after the first game after regular time no winner was found. Last time in a final this was the case in the 1992/93 season between Arsenal and Sheffield Wednesday the case. In the season before it was also decided that there are not any number of replays before a winner was found. Crucial for this was the pairing between Arsenal and Leeds in 1992, when only in the third replay a decision fell. In the past often not uncommon. These days there is a maximum of one replay before it goes into overtime and possibly penalties. In addition, there are only up to and including the fourth round of replays, as the English FA Football Association decided that actually planned for next season change from the round of the last sixteen (= 5th round) repainting, already preferred a year.
In the third round, however, the replay games remain commonplace. On Tuesday evening at 20:45 (live at BT Sport and Dazn), between second division Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United, in the Premier League relegation battle, will play one of four replay matches in this year’s 3rd FA Cup round. A week and a half ago, the Magpies at home in St. James’s Park beat Bradley Dack’s Rovers lead with Matt Ritchie’s late penalty. Everything is open before the new edition. Not only the bookies at Blackburn against Newcastle expect a tight match, according to odds, but we also do not see Blackburn against Newcastle predicting a home win as a chance. But on the contrary. For the winner in the fourth round on January 26, a home game against Watford.
Blackburn:
For many years the Blackburn Rovers were part of the inventory of the Premier League. In 1995, the Rovers were even English champions with Premier League all-time goalscorer Alan Shearer and the money of the late steel magnate Jack Walker. But these glittering times are long gone. Since the Premier League descent in 2012, the sun has rarely shimmered over Ewood Park, as well as Venky’s dubious Indian owners, ignorant of football-related issues. Last season, the glittering Lancashire club even had its first ever league season in 37 years. After the accident with coach Tony Mowbray could be corrected immediately after the first try, the Rovers are in the Championship as Table-14. currently in calm waters. There will be no flaring relegation worries this year. Even more likely an attack on the playoff spots, which are currently only six meters away.
This would require a longer series than the current two wins in a row. After the strong 2-1 home win on New Year’s Day against promotion favorites West Brom, the Rovers were able to win 2-0 in Millwall last Saturday. However, a climb this season seems unlikely, the Rovers are not consistent enough. So why not send the first home guard against the Premier League relegation candidate to the field and start a good run in the cup? A cauldron may not be expected on Tuesday evening, to a third round game is just as insignificant as the opponent. Blackburn is against Newcastle, according to odds of bookmakers not completely hopeless, which is reflected in Blackburn against Newcastle in our tip. If the Rovers continue, even a long overdue series would finally break. The Rovers could win since January 1986 namely none of the now nine 3rd round FA Cup games against a higher-class club (four draws, five failures).
Newcastle:
Six minutes left Newcastle before the seventh-third break under the now twelve-year reign of hated club boss Mike Ashley. There was no win for the Magpies, which did not really improve the catastrophic home record with eight defeats out of twelve matches, but at least the Magpies got the second chance to win the 4th round FA Cup ticket. Apart from two second division championships, the goodies have been waiting for a trophy since 1955. At that time, the four-time English champion celebrated the last of his six FA Cup triumphs. So one would think that the FA Cup would be the best stage to finally reward the loyal fans with a trophy or at least to send a lineup into the race, which also believes in getting ahead in the Cup. For coach Rafael Benitez, however, the league is more than the title chances in the cup seriously to keep alive.
So the eight start-eleven changes in the first leg against the Premier League appearance against Manchester United were just a taste of the lineup on Tuesday, when Newcastle has to travel to Blackburn and last Saturday evening played an away game in London. There Newcastle showed at Chelsea actually a good performance, but lost but just as unhappy with 1: 2 and slipped off by the results of the competition on a relegation zone. Although Benitez managed to win the “Premier League Coach of the Month” award in November, United have only won one of their last ten competitive matches since. In the Premier League, 18 points out of 22 games represent the worst point yield since 1989 (at that time 17 points), as the Magpies descended at the end under coach Jim Smith. A similar scenario threatens Newcastle again this time, because Ashley, who is in um take-over negotiations for the umpteenth time, will make no money for January new additions. Newcastle needs a miracle like last year. Therefore, on Tuesday at Blackburn against Newcastle our forecast for a tip towards Rovers. Muto and Ki are at the Asian Cup, Dummett, Diame and Shelvey are injured.
