Blackburn v QPR
Last time out Steve Kean’s side were hit for seven by Arsenal and whether Congolese defender Christopher Samba will take to the field on Saturday remains to be seen, with the player clearly wanting out of Ewood Park, and skipping training earlier in the week.
Top goalscorer Yakubu should return for Blackburn though and he has scored seven of his 12 Premier League goals at home.
Opponents this weekend are QPR and Mark Hughes was keen to strengthen his attacking options in January with Djibril Cisse and Bobby Zamora amongst the personnel brought in.
QPR will have targeted recent games in their fight to climb away from the drop-zone and three of QPR’s last four games have surpassed the overs mark.
Three quarters of Blackburn’s matches at Ewood Park have featured at least three goals and both sides will be looking to bounce back after recent defeats.
Tip: Over 2.5 goals (Blackburn Rovers v QPR) at 17/20 (1.85) with Bet365
Real Madrid v Levante
Spanish leaders Real Madrid have won six games on the bounce and are now seven points ahead of rivals Barcelona in the race for the La Liga title.
Real Madrid will be seeking revenge after Levante inflicted their first defeat of the season at the Estadi Ciutat de Valencia back in September, but after winning seven of their opening nine league games, Levante have gone on to win just two of their last 12.
Levante have conceded 10 goals in their last three away games and free scoring Real Madrid will likely add to that with the capital side scoring an average of more than 4 goals a game at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Tip: Real Madrid to win AND Over 3.5 Total Goals at 8/11 (1.72) with Bet365
