Leicester City vs Blackburn Rovers Predictions

Tip Reasoning

• Leicester have scored ten goals in their last five games
• Blackburn have failed to score only once in their last eight games
• Leicester have averaged 3.25 goals per game in the league this season

Leicester need confidence

Leicester have faced Manchester United and Arsenal in their last two games, arguably the two most in-form slides in the country, and will welcome a break from league action as they face lower league opposition in the FA Cup.

Prior to their last two games, Leicester had scored ten goals in three games against Brighton, Aston Villa and Tottenham – all of whom are above the Foxes in the league table. They will be looking to reignite their goalscoring form against a Blackburn side who have failed to score just once in their last eight games. As a result, a tip of both teams to score and over 2.5 goals appeals, with both sides looking to impress and further their cup claims.

Up for the cup

Leicester City lifted the FA Cup for the first time in their history when they won it in 2021, and will always be hopeful of bringing further glory to the club. Blackburn meanwhile will be looking to progress to the quarter-final for the first time since 2014-15, and having gone seven games unbeaten in the league, they will be looking to cause an upset on Tuesday night.

With both sides desperate to progress, and due to the form of the Championship side, this could be a closer game than many imagine. A correct score prediction of 2-1 Leicester appeals, as the Premier League side will look to find their form and show their quality, but Blackburn could well cause problems for the hosts.
