Blackburn Rovers play at Manchester City on Saturday in another important Premier League match. It’s a tough away contest for Blackburn early in the season. Manchester City will be looking for the full points in this one.
Manchester City and Blackburn have dueled 10 times since 2006. City has three wins and Blackburn has five, and there were two draws. Most notably, Blackburn hasn’t beaten City at home since 2007. The most recent match between the two clubs resulted in a 4-1 victory for City at, you guessed it, the City of Manchester Stadium.
Manchester City is in good form with three wins, one loss and a draw in the last five matches. But, in the Premiership, the club only has one win, a loss and a draw to show for it. With so much money spent in the offseason, we have yet to see the best from City. They have scored six goals in the last five matches, while letting in only one. Blackburn has been up and down with two wins, two losses and a draw in the last five matches. Both defeats came in the Premier League. They have scored seven goals in those five games and are averaging a goal per game in the Premiership, and have let in only six goals in that period.
Because of their strong home record, Manchester City is almost a sure thing in this match. Blackburn only hope is possible lack of confidence on City after the loss to Sunderland last weekend. If you are looking for a different betting market, back the over 2.75 goals in the over/under goals market since these clubs have produced three or more goals six times in the last 10 fixtures.
