Manchester United needs only a point, to get the title right after this game. Blackburn is at the lower half of the table with 39 points, just a point away of those 40, which most teams strive for.
Blackburn
Blackburn have had a rough season, sitting on the 15th spot at the moment, 2 rounds before the season ends. The team might theoretically make the cut, even with 2 losses in those rounds, but they would have to rely on a lot of other games. The team’s home record reads W7 D6 L5, scoring 21 goals and conceding 15 in those games. Latest home game was a success against Bolton with 1:0, but the overall record for the past 7 home games shows, 2 victories, 2 losses and 3 draws.
Manchester United
Manchester United are very close to a 19th title, which will put them ahead of Liverpool, who have 18. The team however has had a rough time away from Old Trafford this year, recording 5 victories, 9 draw game and 4 losses. The team achieved only a single victory in the past 5 away games, recording 3 losses and a draw. The first game this season on Old Trafford ended 7:1 in favor of the Red Devils, where Dimitar Berbatov scored 5 goals. While the Bulgarian striker missed the last game with Arsenal, sitting on the bench, Sir Alex might choose him as a starter this time.
Prediction
While this game seems a bit unclear, it can be the one that decides the title, and for that purpose I think a lot of you would be interested in it. Blackburn’s overall record here against Manchester United reads W4 D6 L7, with the most recent meeting ending 0:0. With United recording 9 draws away from home this season, and only needing a point here, do you see where I am going with this?
My prediction would be a Draw. It’s a score that would please both teams for sure.
