Blackburn vs Fulham

8/3- Blackburn are currently placed on the seventh spot and they would want to make it to the top six and get qualified for the European competitions next year. They are currently just 3points behind the sixth placed team and stand a good chance of giving them a run for their spot. They have been in good form almost throughout the season and this week they get ready to play hosts to a struggling Fulham. The visitors are placed on the second last spot and in their current form look set to be relegated this season, they have had a very poor season and only a miracle can help them get out of the position they are into. The home team on the other hand would be hoping to capitalise on this comparatively easier tie and get a big win at home this weekend to pressurize the teams above for a berth in all Europe club competitions. With the home crowd behind them, they would surely like to make the most.

Blackburn enter this match after two back to back victories, in fact they have had a good run in the last 10 matches as they have managed to win 5, draw 4 and have lost just a single match that too in an away tie against league leaders Arsenal. In their last home game that was against Bolton, the side came up with an emphatic 4-1 victory while in their last match which was an away tie against Newcastle the team earned a 0-1 victory. With strikers like Santa Cruz and McCarthy in top form the home side would not have much of worries.

Fulham on the other hand would like to make some points of this match as they have lost their last three matches and having not won a single match away from home all season the best they can hope is for a tie.

Prediction: 3-0, Blackburn win
