Blackburn take on the visitors Wrexham in the round 1/16-finals of English FA Cup. The match will be played on Monday, January 29th at Ewood Park (Blackburn).
Blackburn are mainly known as the team that won the newly created Premier League in the mid-90s and then slid down to League 1. From there, they managed to return and establish themselves in the Championship, and of course, they had ambitions to return to the Premier League. Hopes of doing so were pinned on Thomason, who performed well at Malmo (twice Swedish champion). But even last season, they didn't achieve their goal (finishing seventh), and now the Rovers have slipped into the lower third of the table, collecting 33 points from 28 matches - just enough to not worry about relegation - they can focus on the cup.

Wrexham are mainly known for its owners. The Red Dragons played at a semi-professional level in the English structure, while simultaneously competing in the Welsh Cup. They won this Welsh trophy 23 times and even reached the quarter-finals of the Cup Winners' Cup (in 1976). A new phase began when this project somehow attracted the interest of a couple of Hollywood stars, Reynolds and McElhenney. They bought shares and have been actively involved in the club, which is yielding results. Last season, they managed to win the National Conference, and now the newcomer is among the leaders of League 2. They have also been defeating opponents in the cup, having passed Mansfield, Yeovil, and Shrewsbury. However, they will face a significantly stronger opponent now.
For the first time, the modest Welsh project got a chance to play against a former English champion. The Wanderers, despite all their problems, play at home against a clearly weaker opponent. Let's bet on their victory with a handicap of -1.0 goals.
Prediction for the match: Blackburn to win with -1.0 handicap.
