Arsenal gets the opportunity to get as close as 2 points away from the leader Manchester United, in a game of the Premier League against Blackburn.
Arsenal are currently taking the second spot in the league with 58 points, from 29 games a home record of W10 D2 L3, scoring 30 goals and conceding 12 in those games. Arsenal failed to shorten the distance with 3 points the last round when they ended 0:0 with Sunderland, but have chance to do it now. Now when the team is out of all leagues and cups, their only hope for a trophy this season is Premier League and they are close to it. The team hasn’t lost a home game in 8 rounds, last loss against Tottenham on November 20th 2011.
Blackburn are currently taking the 13th position, with 33 points in 30 games, only a point away from the red zone. The team’s away record reads W3 D1 L11, scoring 20 goals and conceding 38 in those games. The team is in a bad streak of 6 consecutive losses away from home. The last away victory the team achieved was against West Bromwich, on December 28th 2010.

Arsenal has met Blackburn 15 times since 1994 at home. Out of those 15 games, the Gunners have won 9, drawn 5 and lost only 2. Arsenal has won the last 7 home games from the Premier League against Blackburn, scoring 25 goals and conceding only 4.
While Arsenal is the undisputed favorite in this game the odds for the home win are quite low, 1.25, even a handicap of -1.5 barely raises them.
What I have noticed in the games between both teams here is that Arsenal has won 5 of the last 7 with a margin of at least 3 goals. However with all of the goalkeeping problems Arsenal has had who knows what can happen. Blackburn’s last 3 away games have ended with Over 4.5 Goals, but I am willing to back a slightly lower Goal line bet.
