Blackburn are now standing on the 19th position in the Premier League but i consider that isn't the position they should have. They have had a poor first half of the season, as they missed some of their top players, and main scores.In the last Premier League matches, Blackburn have shown improvements, and have been playing the type of soccer we are used to. Another important advantage for Blackburn today, is the fact that they play at home.Maybe this years' statistics do not speak in Blackburn's favor but if we take a look at last season's home results, have a nice 8-7-4 record with 26 goals scored and 19 conceded.Also in the 06/07 season Blackburn had a 9-3-7 record, which isn't bad at all. So far, this season Blackburn has a 1-2-5 home record.A very bad one.But as i said they did have a few players unavailable, and besides that 4 of the home matches were against the big four (Arsenal, Chelsea, Man Utd and Liverpool).I believe that sooner rather than later, Blackburn will get those crucial home points coming. Also, take in consideration that when a team changes it's couch, things can also change suddenly in a good direction.Look at Spurs as one of the best examples we have had in some time now. On the other side, Stoke City, is in a fairly good position taking in consideration that they are a newly promoted team.They sit on 13th position but only a few points from 8th and still only a few points from a relegation spot.It's quite a tricky situation in the Premier League.That is why Stoke would love to get a positive results here, as that would not only mean that they consolidate their position (if not increase it) but also sink Blackburn into a 8-10 points gap between them and a relegation-free spot. But, what caught my eye at Stoke is their away record.A 0-3-5 away record for this season isn't that good.For me, Stoke is a team that one way or another manages to hold in there and get something from a match.For example, when they made a draw with Liverpool, or better yet, two rounds ago against Newcastle, a match in which Stoke was down 2-0 but in the end got the 2-2 draw.Only the problem is that you can have these kinds of results all the time.Inconsistency would be the perfect word for Stoke. A lot of draw so far, 4 matches without a loss (ever since the 5-0 Man Utd loss) for Stoke is above what i rate this team to be.Maybe i'm wrong; we'll just have to wait and see. Until then my bet is with a Blackburn win, only with a medium stake. I see a hungry for points Blackburn that will one way or another get all 3 points. And by the way, the odds are going down, got around 1.80 at Betfair , would expect odds of about 1.75 at most bookmakers, before the start of the match Good Luck!
