All other games between these two teams have been in the Championship, where seems like Blackburn has dominated with 3 to 1 victories here. Of course those games have been 12 years ago, so they have very little impact on the current shape and situation in the teams.
Carlos Tevez has been superb this season, having scored 12 goals already. He is priced to score in this game at 1.66, while the new City striker Edin Dzeko is priced to score at 1.83 and is planned to come out as a starter in this game.
Seems like Manchester City keep raising their class, with top notch players, but can they become a strong team is the question. While the odds of home victory seem low to be played at 1.33 the handicap for this game is great.
