Leicester City are officially champions after a win on Monday night. They come into the final game of the season with the pressure off, and nothing to play for, other than the target of 100 points, which they are three off. Blackburn are the visitors and although relegation looks unlikely, they do head into the final game of the season with the potential to drop down into League One.
Leicester City Form GuideShould Leicester take three points from this final game of the season then they would end with a total of 100 points, and become the first team to ever accomplish this twice in the English second tier. I do think this gives them something to play for, and they'll want to go out with a win and a big party with their fans.
To wrap up their season, Leicester have knuckled down to win their last three games, at a time when Leeds and Ipswich failed to match, due to them feeling the pressure. A 3-0 win away at Preston won it on Monday night, before that, they won 5-0 at home to Southampton and 2-1 at home to West Brom, so they've been playing some good teams in this period.
Blackburn Form GuideGoing into the final weekend, Blackburn are not safe. It's unlikely they will go down, but it could happen. Anything they get, keeps them up, even a point. However, if they lose, then they will need other results to go their way. The good news is that three other results are involved here. The only scenario where Blackburn would be relegated is if they lose, Sheffield Wednesday draw or win, Plymouth win and Birmingham win.
They managed a point on Saturday, a 0-0 draw at home to Coventry, which has helped their cause and made it easier for them to remain in the Championship. But their big loss at home to Sheffield Wednesday before that, losing 3-1, was the one that kept them in trouble, a win there and they would have been safe, keeping Wednesday in trouble too.
Match PredictionAlthough technically Leicester have nothing to play for and Blackburn have it all to play for, I am backing Leicester to win this game. I think they'll want 100 points, want a big party on the back of a win, and get it.
