Watford v Blackburn tonight

2007-Jan-23

Hi there,

a rare daytime post, but have been thinking a bit on tonights premiership game.

I think Blackburn look value here. When I scanned the price last night and thought about it, I was surprised they were available at this price.

I've been impressed by Blackburn recently - since their thrashing by Arsenal just before Xmas (they actually lost twice to Arsenal in Xmas period!) they have had some great results, beating Liverpool and Middlesbrough at home, and beating Reading (1-2), Wigan(0-3), and Man City(0-3) away from home. The result against Reading which was won in spite of a glut of disallowed goals by McCarthy certainly caught my attention, and the subsequent results have been excellent. The Reading and Man City results show a potent Blackburn attack that can pierce even resilient defences.

I'd be very surprised if Mark Hughes instructed his team to hold out for the draw here!

Watford have battled hard, but just can't get among the goals at the moment.

I think it was Mark Bright who said on the BBC sports interactive service last weekend that Watford often concede in the last few minutes of a game. Their propensity to hold out for long periods has been useful for in play betting trading the draw this season. However, with Blackburn in this sort of form, I won't adopt that strategy today, and will start this game staking on the away win.

Blackburn on AH (-.5) at 2.3 also looks good value to me, but I prefer in-running when it is available.

regards,

Fenland T
