There is no doubt that Blackburn will have an extra spring in their step when they take on Newcastle on Saturday. Last weeks win over Arsenal will have helped but so will the fact that they have won their last four outings at St James and have won six of the last seven meetings between the sides. With those kind of stats the 4/1 another away victory looks a very fair price.
However Newcastle have made a magnificent start to the campaign and are unbeaten in seven games in the league and Carling Cup so far this season. Last week they gained a very valuable point at Villa Park and in mid-week beat Forest with two extra time goals.
Blackburn could welcome back Pedersen and he would be a big boost and whilst 4/1 looks the value Newcastle are very tough to beat and the draw looks the best bet at 13/5 with Stan James.
