WEST HAM vs BLACKBURN (EPL)

<2.25> <3.20> <2.70>

blackburn look kinda shitty this season. i predicted that they will hover around the relegation zone, and if so, these are the sort of matches they will lose. west ham, i feel, can ride on dean ashton this season, and with quality service from the wings in the likes of etherington/mccartney and faubert/behrami, west ham are gonna win.

Eddy's prediction: $5 on west ham @ 2.25 = $11.25

Blackburn haven't been by any means bad. They may have lost Bentley, but still have a decent team. They do miss Bentley's creativity and will look to Gamst Pedersen to provide some spark to their attack. West Ham will be without Mark Noble, and their usual host of mass injuries. They slumped to a 3-0 defeat away to Man City and barely scraped past Macclesfield Town in the Carling Cup (don't let the 4-1 trick you, it was just 3 goals in extra time). Both teams are in a bad patch and I don't think there will be a clear winner tonight. If you can, take Blackburn at a handicap of +0.5 or 0.25.

Roland's prediction: $5 on Draw @ 3.20 = $16
