Chelsea vs Blackburn Prediction
Chelsea have yet again been struggling for form and after losing 2-0 to Brentford in the Premier League over the weekend, Mauricio Pochettino will be desperate for a win in the EFL Cup this week.
The Blues have won just three games in their last eight matches, which includes a 1-0 win over Brighton in the third round of the cup at the end of last month.
With their league form looking bleaker and bleaker as each week passes, the EFL Cup may be one of the only routes to success this season but standing in their way will be a tricky Blackburn side.
Blackburn are 12th in the Championship, but they are climbing the table having won three of their last four matches in the league.
The Blue and Whites smashed Cardiff 5-2 at home during their last cup tie and they have found the competition fairly easy so far with an 8-0 win coming in the round prior to that.

- Chelsea to win & BTTS @ 19/10
- Noni Madueke to score @ 15/8

Chelsea vs Blackburn Betting Tip (1): Chelsea To Win & BTTS @ 19/10
Despite Chelsea’s poor form in the last few weeks, we are backing the Blues to come out on top in the last 16 of the EFL Cup against opposition that are a much weaker side on paper.
We think that Chelsea will win but the game will be closer than it may seem, with Blackburn likely to field their strongest 11 in pursuit of their first trophy since winning this competition in 2002.
Blackburn certainly wont make things easy for their Premier League opposition this weekend, so we are backing both teams to score as well as a Chelsea win that should take them through to the quarter finals.
Chelsea vs Blackburn Betting Tip (2): Noni Madueke Anytime Goalscorer @ 15/8
Our second pick for this last 16 clash on Wednesday night is for Noni Madueke to score anytime. The bright winger earned his first Premier League start for the Blues at the weekend, during their disappointing loss against Brentford at Stamford Bridge.
Madueke wasn’t too impressive against the Bees and he along with everyone else in the squad struggled to land a blow against a resilient Brentford team.
The 21-year-old should start for a second consecutive game this week and with Madueke desperate to prove himself this season under Mauricio Pochettino, we are backing the winger to score against Blackburn.
