Leicester City vs Blackburn Rovers Prediction and Betting Tips | February 28, 2023

Leicester City and Blackburn Rovers lock horns at the King Power Stadium for a place in the FA Cup quarterfinals on Tuesday (February 28).

The Rovers head into the midweek clash on a run of three league wins and will look to continue in the same vein.

Leicester were left hovering just three points above the Premier League relegation zone following a 1-0 loss at home to leaders Arsenal on Saturday (February 25).

That followed a 3-0 humbling against Manchester United on February 19, which snapped their three-game winning streak. The Foxes’ luck appears to have run out, but they set out to secure another FA Cup quarterfinal appearance following successive 1-0 wins over Gillingham and Walsall in the first two rounds.

Blackburn, meanwhile, have enjoyed contrasting fortunes in the Championship, beating QPR 3-1 at Loftus Road for their third straight league win.

The Rovers have now put themselves in the promotion conversation, as they sit fourth in the standings with a three-point cushion over Norwich City outside the playoff places.

Having edged out Norwich in the opening round of the FA Cup, Blackburn saw off Birmingham City 1-0 after extra time in a fourth round replay after the first game had ended 2-2.
