For the first time in their history, Blackburn Rovers and Wrexham will clash in the FA Cup on Monday night, presenting us with an intriguing context.
Over the past two months, there hasn’t been much for Blackburn Rovers fans to celebrate. The Riversiders managed to secure only a single victory in their last eight matches, with five losses and two draws. Nevertheless, the team, led by Jon Dahl Tomasson, can find encouragement in the fact that their lone win during this time was in the FA Cup. They managed to clinch a comeback victory against Cambridge United in the third round, with a final score of 5-2.
Meanwhile, Wrexham is the team to watch. The Red Dragons have only experienced two losses in their last eight games across all competitions, securing victories in the remaining six. However, Phil Parkinson’s team has a less than stellar record at this stage of the FA Cup, with their last victory in the fourth round dating back to a 4-2 win against Peterborough United in the 1996-97 season.
Blackburn Rovers vs Wrexham Betting Tips: Both teams to score
Blackburn Rovers games have always been entertaining this season, with no shortage of action. In their last nine games, betting on “over 2.5 goals” would have been successful eight times. Only twice did both teams fail to score.
Wrexham may be considered the weaker team, but their scoring ability should not be underestimated. In their last 12 games across all competitions, Phil Parkinson’s team has only failed to score once, and they managed to score twice in two out of their three FA Cup matches this season.

Wrexham team news
Similar to the hosts, Wrexham also couldn’t complete their last game without injury.
Sam Dalby, who hasn’t scored in any of his 25 Football League Two appearances this season, was taken off the field before the half-hour mark and it’s uncertain if he’ll play in Monday’s game.
William Boyle received a red card just 18 minutes into the game against Newport County and as a result, he will serve a ban.
