When Newcastle United visits Ewood Park on Tuesday to play Championship team Blackburn Rovers, they will be vying for a berth in the FA Cup quarter finals. Keep reading this article to get the best soccer analysis about this match.
Newcastle Analysis: Looking to keep their good FA Cup form
Newcastle will go into the game coming off a 4-1 Premier League loss against Arsenal, which put an end to the Magpies’ 5-game winning streak. Currently ranked 8th in the Premier League, Eddie Howe’s team will find it challenging to contend for a Champions League spot in the 2024–25 season, as they are 10 points below Tottenham Hotspur in 5th place and 15 points below Aston Villa in 4th place. Though the next few weeks will be critical in ensuring the club secures European football of some form, winning an FA Cup under the new ownership structure may not be an opportunity that presents itself too frequently. In addition, Newcastle had 6 prior FA Cup championships. Their most recent appearance in the championship game occurred in 1999, when they infamously lost to Manchester United.
Blackburn Rovers Analysis: FA Cup doesn’t look like their priority
Blackburn has won the FA Cup 6 times. They have also advanced to the competition’s final two times, in 1882 and 1960. Although Rovers won’t consider this competition a top priority this year, they have scored a lot of goals within the FA Cup 2023–24, defeating Cambridge United 5-2 during the third round and Wrexham 4-1 in the last round. After a 1-1 tie with Norwich within the Championship on the afternoon of Saturday, John Eustace’s team will go into this game with 3 consecutive draws within the second division of English football. It will be challenging for Blackburn to contend for promotion this campaign since they are now 16th within the Championship standings, 16 points outside the playoff positions. At this crucial time in the season, they are just 4 points away from being in danger of relegation.
