Blackburn take on the visitors Newcastle in the round 25 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Monday, January 2nd at Ewood Park (Blackburn).
Blackburn continue their free fall into the third tier of English football. Former Premier League side and the winners of the season 94-95 are now on four-match losing streak with 6-11 on aggregate and sit in the relegation zone on 22nd place of the league of 24 teams. The hosting side have troubles even in home matches, recording only three wins in 12 matches and gained 13 points. Two recent home fixtures ended with defeats against Brighton, 2-3, and Reading, 2-3.

Newcastle, in turn, are battling their way back to elite division right after they got relegated last season. If the team keeps up with current pace, they should have no troubles to finish the season in top-two. Benitez’ men are currently first in the league with 52 points gained in 24 matches. The Magpies have no difference where the match takes place, recording nine wins in 12 away matches with 28 points gained.
Blackburn have recorded unexpected 1-0 win in reverse fixture this season. We should expect the Magpies to take their revenge and record home win which should allow them to hold on to the first place.
Prediction for the match: Newcastle to win.
