After the surprise last week, breaking finally Arsenal’s curse over them, it’s time to break another one, Blackburn’s.
Blackburn have won the last 4 visits on St James’ Park, and have won the last 5 matches in total.
Currently 16th with 12 points and an away record of W1 D1 L3, Blackburn will try to win yet another visit here.
Newcastle crushed Sunderland here in their last home game this season with 5:1. The team isn’t doing bad for a newcomer from the Championship, of course if they can be qualified as such.
Currently 5th with a home record of W2 D1 L2, Newcastle has a chance to move a spot up, if any of the teams above them (Manchester Cit & Arsenal) lose today.

* Rovers have only scored more than once in one of their last 18 Premier League matches on the road.

Newcastle to win @ 1.90 (Place your bet in BET365.COM): Although this is a bit against the statistics, Newcastle’s current shape is a lot better than Blackburn’s. It’s their chance to finally break that losing streak of 4 in a row. Not to mention that they would also have a chance to get in the Top4 depending on 2 other games tonight. I think the home victory odds are quite tasty here to be skipped.
