Blackburn v Liverpool FA Cup Betting Preview

Can the Championship claim themselves another Premier League scalp in this season’s FA Cup? This would be the biggest, and with Liverpool losing crucial games in the top flight, which has all but seen their hopes of a top four finish go, can Rovers heap more misery on them? Or can Liverpool respond to their troubles by taking one step closer to some silverware this season?

Blackburn v Liverpool Betting Tips

The Reds have certainly suffered some setbacks lately. Crucial losses in the top flight against Manchester United and Arsenal have seen them in danger of finishing the season short of a Champions League place. So high importance on getting the job done now against Blackburn so that they can at least try and finish the season on a high with some silverware. History suggests that they will do it as they have progressed from three of their last four FA Cup ties against Blackburn Rovers (1979, 1983 and 1991). Not only that, in 15 of the last 16 occasions that the Reds have been in the FA Cup quarter final, they have made it through to the final four, so the stats are on their side.

Daniel Sturridge has netted 10 goals in his last 13 FA Cup starts and is running as a 5/6 quote in the anytime goalscorer market. They need to be far sharper than they were at Anfield against Rovers, as Liverpool only managed to get four of their 22 efforts at goal in that game on target. Liverpool have already come through three away games in this season’s FA Cup and all of those victories were by a 2-1 scoreline, an option you can back in the Bet365 Correct score market for a price of 7/1. May not be a bad punt at all. The question here simply, is whether or not Liverpool can shake off their setbacks and get dialled in for the for trip to Ewood Park?

Blackburn have been putting together some patchy form with a W3 D1 L2 record in their last six played. Worryingly perhaps is the fact that they have lost their last two home fixtures, both by a one goal margin. Rovers have already seen off Swansea and Stoke at Ewood Park by convincing scorelines this season and they were victorious on their last FA Cup tie in 2000, prior to this sixth round tie. However, both of the previous replays between Blackburn and Liverpool in the FA Cup have gone the way of the Merseysiders (Round 3 in 1950 and 1991). Blackburn have been eliminated in each of their last three replays at this stage of the competition (1962, 1993, 2013) too. Gary Bowyer’s men have conceded exactly one goal in their last four FA Cup games at Ewood Park as well.

Blackburn v Liverpool Predictions

The weight of history is leaning on the side of Liverpool to come through the replay. They have suffered some setbacks but they only conceded one shot on target against Rovers at Anfield, and some clinical finishing would have seen them win that first encounter with ease. The Reds should have enough to get through but look for both teams to score in the match.
