Blackburn vs Newcastle Betting Tips: Over 2.5 Goals / BTTS

Blackburn is set to host Newcastle at Ewood Park on Tuesday, with a promising prospect of goals as both teams have been consistently delivering good performances in the recent weeks.

Heading into this fixture, in their last nine home games, Rovers have seen both teams scoring (BTTS), with seven of these games witnessing at least three goals. At Ewood Park this season, the hosts have been unable to score in merely two matches and have kept just one clean sheet. Blackburn’s last ten home matches have seen an average of 3.2 goals per game.

Newcastle has demonstrated consistent goal numbers ahead of this FA Cup clash. The Magpies have both scored and conceded (BTTS) and exceeded 2.5 goals in eight of their past ten matches, including their last three away games. In their last ten matches, Newcastle has witnessed an impressive average of 4.6 goals scored.

Considering these statistics, selecting over 2.5 goals seems a secure choice. I also favor the likelihood of both teams scoring, possibly even reaching four or more goals. Consequently, I’m choosing over 2.5 goals as my top pick, along with BTTS and over 3.5 goals, which also appear to provide good value.

Newcastle should be expected to get the job done but in the FA Cup, an upset is always a possibility, so I´ll be putting my faith in BTTS and over 2.5 goals in Tuesday’s Ewood Park matchup.
