Everton faces Blackburn in a match from the English Premier League.
As usually Everton is making a quite strong run in the end of the season, and is currently taking the 7th spot with 44 points in 32 games. The difference between Everton and the 6th spot is 4 points, and with 6 rounds left of the season, the team might have a shot at the spot that guarantees participation in Europa League. Together with Fulham and Birmingham, Everton has recorded 14 draws this season. The team’s home record reads W6 D7 L3, scoring 26 goals and conceding 22 in those games. Unbeaten in the last 8 home games, recording 4 victories and 4 draws, Everton hasn’t had a defeat at home in almost 5 months.
Blackburn is currently 15th with 35 points in 32 games, away record of W3 D2 L11, scoring 20 goals and conceding 38 in those games. The team has picked up only 11 points away from home this season which is the second lowest after Wolverhampton who have got 8. Blackburn hasn’t won an away game since December 28th 2010, recording 5 consecutive losses and a draw against Arsenal, in their latest visit.
Blackburn however has a positive record on Goodison Park, recording 8 victories 2 draws and 6 losses. The first game this season, was won by Blackburn with 1:0, a goal that came from their only shot on target that day. So far, however Everton hasn’t lost a game to any team that’s taking place in the lower half of the table.
I am willing to back Everton in this match, as they tend to perform far better in the end of the season. In a way this season is almost identical as the 2009-2010 where Everton started in the lower half of the table, and by the end moved up to the 8th spot. Unbeaten over 4 months, the team faces one of the weakest visitors, giving them a chance to move up to that 6th place even more. My prediction Everton to win in this match. Good luck betting.
