Blackburn Rovers are not doing well in the Championship at the moment. After 34 league games, they have only managed 11 wins, 6 draws and 17 defeats. They sit 16th in the standings for the time being, just five points above the relegation zone. The current situation is even worse: they have not tasted a win in their last four league games and are on a three-game draw in a row. However, it is worth noting that Blackburn have won the FA Cup on a number of occasions in their history, including a number of honourable moments in 1884, 1885, 1886, 1890, 1891 and 1928.
Newcastle United are a mid-table team in the Premier League and currently sit 10th in the league. In the last ten matches, they have won a total of 4 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses, scoring 23 goals and conceding 23 goals. Although Newcastle United have had problems defensively recently, conceding 13 goals in the last five games, they are still stronger than Blackburn Rovers overall. Therefore, experts believe that Newcastle United have a better chance of winning this game.
However, the outcome of a football match is often fraught with uncertainty. A team with a long history and experience, Blackburn have executed a number of counter-attacks in recent FA Cup matches. Therefore, it is entirely possible that Blackburn Rovers will use home advantage to play their best and cause problems for Newcastle United in this game.
In addition, Blackburn have performed well in the FA Cup this season, winning two and drawing one in the first three rounds to successfully advance to the fifth round. This is enough to prove that they are competitive in this event. In addition, Blackburn Rovers have also been more consistent at home, losing just one of their last ten games. Therefore, they are confident that in this match, with the support of the fans, they will bring a good matchup to the audience.
As for Newcastle United, they are not as good as Blackburn Rovers in the Premier League and their current form, but their performance in the FA Cup is also worth looking forward to. Newcastle United have won the FA Cup on a number of occasions in their history, including three in 1955, 1974 and 1992, and these awards have given them confidence to beat the likes of Blackburn.
While Blackburn have plenty of FA Cup experience and a bit of a historical background, Newcastle United's overall strength and current form are superior. Newcastle United are more likely to win this away game more easily!
