Blackburn are pretty confident in their Championship place, with a 14 point lead over the bottom three. They are perfectly set up to take the cup seriously, while they showed their potential by causing problems in the first meeting between these two. There shouldn’t be a massive gap in quality, especially if the visitors are set to rotate within a thin squad. Newcastle come here winless in six games, while their last away FA Cup victory was at Cheltenham in 2006. They’ve seen 15 ties pass since then, while they’ve lost eight of their last nine trips in the FA Cup. I see Blackburn as worthy favourites for this tie, especially after losing just once in seven home games.
Blackburn have home advantage ! They are in not good form and playing at home. Expect Newcastle to dominate possession and win by at least 2 goals here, Because Guest team is stronger team and it is clear
