Leicester City – Blackburn

The opponents will score at least three goals in the match at King Power Stadium

One of the most curious events of the FA Cup 1/8 finals will take place at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday. Both opponents will be extremely motivated here. Leicester have only just begun to delight their fans as they have lost twice in the Premier League. Blackburn, on the other hand, stopped losing points and will come to the Foxes' den in a good fighting mood. Leicester got into the 1/8 finals as if they had carte blanche to pick their own opponents, rather than the results of the draws. "The Foxes faced League Two representatives Gillingham and Walsall in the two rounds, who they beat in away fixtures by the same score of 1-0. Blackburn faced fellow Championship sides. In the 1/32 finals, Rovers got past Norwich with an away win, before having to play Birmingham City twice in the next round, deciding the winner of the duel only by a goal in the 100th minute of the replay. The bookmakers have expectedly picked the home side as favourites, with odds of 1.39 being offered on a win. Leicester had a terrible start to the season, staying in the relegation zone and its "neighborhood" for a long time. Brendan Rodgers managed to more or less improve the situation after the first ten rounds. The Foxes are now mid-table, but are still far from a safe position as the relegation zone teams are only three points ahead. In the first half of February, Leicester were extremely productive, scoring a combined total of eight goals against Tottenham and Aston Villa. In the second half of the month, the Foxes played diametrically opposite, losing to Arsenal and Manchester United without the slightest chance, 0-1 and 0-3 respectively. Leicester certainly know how to score, so two dry encounters against top clubs will spur them on to be aggressive in attacking Blackburn's goal. Rovers last lost in mid-January, after which they have not lost a game in a month and a half. And in the last two weeks, Blackburn have turned their unbeaten streak into a winning one. The visitors will certainly not be afraid of their opponent and will attack without regard to their underdog status. We're betting that the opponents will produce a high-scoring encounter.
