BLACKBURN ROVERS-NANCY
These two have already booked the top two spots in their UEFA Cup group.
It only remains to be decided, who will advance as section winners, the French side will take that honour with a point tonight.
Mark Hughes' Blackburn will be without two key players in Emerton and Henchoz and they may be joined by one or two others.
Given their precarious league position, they are just one place and two points above the relegation zone, they would love to rest some players, but due to the size of their small squad, their options are limited.
They have some very difficult fixtures coming up, away trips to Reading and Arsenal, followed by Liverpool at Ewood Park. Hughes knows that they can ill afford any further injuries and that will be his first concern this evening .
Goals have been a real problem, they are 1-1-7 in their last 9 domestic matches and have failed to scored in 6 of those.
Nancy will come for the point, tight at the back, only Lyon have conceded fewer away goals in Ligue 1, they are handily placed in France, just 4 points shy of a Champions League place.
The Feyenoord coach was very impressed with them and that was BEFORE they hammered his side, a classy outfit they are meeting Blackburn at the ideal time.
Think we should back the draw,which I like a lot, with a small "saver" on the away win.
3 points Blackburn-Nancy draw 3.15 betfair
1.5 points Nancy 3.95 betfair.
Good Luck.
