Premier League betting – Blackburn vs Man City

Blackburn vs Man City betting odds, tips & free bets

Blackburn take on Man City on Easter Monday in a clash that will have consequences at both ends of the table. Although Man City’s title hopes are over now they can cement their Champions League place, while Blackburn are looking for 3 vital points to steer themselves away from the relegation zone. Blackburn have a good recent record against City though, having won 7 of the last 13 matches at Ewood Park in all competitions.

Blackburn

Blackburn have been in really poor form recently and will be desperately looking for a win on Monday to help secure their Premier League status for next season. Rovers haven’t won a single game in any competition since January and have slipped from 10th down to 16th in the league table. Their main problem seems to be conceding goals, as they have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 9 games and have conceded on average of a goal a game. Blackburn also haven’t had a consistent goal scorer this season  as Nikola Kalinic is their top league scorer with 5 in the league and he looks most likely to get a goal. The Croatian is a good price then at 4.2 with Unibet to score at any time during the match.

Man City

Manchester City have been fairly inconsistent in their last few games, but have improved in recent weeks with their 1-0 win over local rivals Man Utd in the FA Cup Semi Final. Roberto Mancini will also be looking to take advantage of Tottenham’s slip up on Saturday by cementing their place in the Champsions League. Carlos Tevez will still be missing for the trip but Mario Balotelli should deputise and has played well over recent weeks. The striker was a real threat in the Semi Final and is a good bet at 7.25 with Unibet to open the scoring. Manchester City have lost 6 away games this season but are favourites to win the match and a 2-0 away win is looking good at 11.0 with Bluesq.  A half time/full time of Manchester City /Manchester City is also looking good at 3.5 with Stan James as the Citizens could well control the game with Blackburn in poor form.
