Southampton v Blackburn prediction

Southampton are on the charge. Unbeaten in their last 17 matches in all competitions storming into the playoffs.

The Saints have a date with Manchester City at Wembley Stadium in the FA Cup semi final later this month. But the bread and butter is the league and an immediate return to the Premier League.

Tonda Eckart’s side have an unrivalled momentum right now and with just five games left will aim to chase down third-placed Millwall, who are four points ahead of them having played a game more.

Blackburn are four points clear of the relegation zone, with new boss Michael O’Neill sparking an uptick in form, conceding just four goals across the last seven matches.

Rovers have claimed 16 points from 11 match since February 13, the ninth-best record in the second tier across that period.

Blackburn have quietly put together a strong away record this campaign, picking up 28 points from 21 fixtures and avoiding defeat in their last three such contests.

Southampton v Blackburn betting tips

Fortress St. Mary’s

Southampton have bagged an impressive 39 points from their 20 league matches at home this season. And have the joint-best defensive record in the division, with just 15 goals.

After going through a sticky patch in his reign in charge, Eckert’s side have found the remedy of consistency over the last three months. Top of the Championship home form table over the last eight games, seeing off QPR, Derby and Norwich in that time.

Blackburn have shown staying power away from home, picking up seven points from their last three on the road.

But Saints have the feel-good factor flowing and that should carry on tonight.
