The last 8 games has seen a total of 28 goals for Newcastle (average 3.5 per game). Ba is away, though so is the defensive quality Chiote provides. Since Stephen Taylor got injured, Newcastle's defence has slipped badly.
6 out the last 8 Blackburn games have seen over 2.5 goals. Blackburn have yet to keep a clean sheet this season and have scored in 19/22 matches so far (same amount as Chelsea and Arsenal).
9 out of 11 of Blackurn's home games have finished over 2.5 goals (the two unders being 1-0 losses to Everton and Chelsea).
Both clubs have had owners (who had supported the club) bankroll titles and title challenges, now both are owned by foriegners who have upset their fans with a perceived lack of understanding of football in the Premier League. Should be an interesting tie and if Blackburn fans support the team I can see them getting a result.
Note: Ba and Cisse maybe back and starting for Newcastle after Senegal got knocked out. Obviously good for the over.
TIP: OVER 2,5 @ 1,70
