Blackburn v Sunderland

Not a game i will be involved with as the 1.50 is a bit too short for me to get involved with on Blackburns current form but i will add my thoughts for anyone considering the game tonight.

Blackburn since that excellent win at home in the league to Man Utd have fallen back a bit and gone with 4 losses in their last 5. More worryingly is that they have failed to score in their last 2 league games.

WBA they got exactly what they deserved and were lucky they didn't lose that by more. Everton they were unlucky in a way as it is difficult playing against 10 men for so much of the game and mybe deserved to get more from that game.

A big reason for their lack of form i would say has been the loss of Gamdst Pedersen through injury. He looks set to return tonight which is a huge boost to the side as he is one of their creative sparks who gets up and helps out the front pairing very well and chips in with his fair share of goals.

Steven reid is a doubt though for the game which would be a blow as he has been excellent this season but Pedersens return is more important imo.

Another factor in their current demise though is their 4 games with loss have come away from home and as you can see below their home form is excellent by anyones standards and it should motivate them a lot to be back at home.

02-01 Blackburn 4-3 Man.Utd
01-14 Blackburn 0-0 Bolton
01-02 Blackburn 2-1 Portsmouth
12-10 Blackburn 3-2 West Ham
12-03 Blackburn 0-2 Everton
11-05 Blackburn 4-1 Charlton
10-22 Blackburn 2-0 Birmingham
10-01 Blackburn 2-0 West Brom.
09-18 Blackburn 0-3 Newcastle
08-24 Blackburn 0-0 Tottenham
08-20 Blackburn 2-1 Fulham

Looks like it will be Bellamy and Bentley as the front pairig and although there isn't an out and out goalscorer here i still think there is enough firepower in the side to overcome the bassment side.

As for Sunderland, there isn't much you can say. They are the poorest side as far as i can remember in this league and i just don't see where goals can come from this side. It is going to take some spectacular goal i feel they need every game to score as they have no penetration or creativty in that side.

A 2-0-9 away record says a lot about how abysmal they are on the road although to be fair to them they have put in some decent performances particularly against Newcastle and Spurs away for example.

Morale should be high i guess after the point at Spurs but they were lucky as Spurs should've killed them off earlier which has been the story of much of Spurs season so far.

Defensively Sunderland have some big players of their side returning from suspension in Caldwell and Wright but i don't think this will have much effect.

To me the game is there for Blackburn and its down to how they approach it. They should win, and maybe by a few goals but the odds are too small for me to get involved.

Hope this helps anyone interested
