BLACKBURN VS FULHAM- PREVIEW, TIPS AND ODDS

Mark Hughes travels to Ewood Park in a few hours, and with that the very venue where he cut his Premier League managerial teeth.
Fulham remain unbeaten this season; however an historic shaky away-win record could very well change that this afternoon.
Following points at Bolton, as well as Blackpool, many believe that this trip to the north-west will be Hughes’s most daunting to date.
Fulham have some rather worrying statistics leaning their way, in that they have won none of their last 20 league away matches, and failed to score in nine of their last 11!
This, coupled with the fact that Blackburn have only lost five of their 32 league home games under Sam Allardyce, and one can see that there is a rather interesting tussle brewing.
Fulham is hopeful Damien Duff should be fit for today's clash, while Fulham still has to contend with Rafik Halliche and Fredrik Stoor (both groin) on the doubtful list. 
The fact that Andrew Johnson is still at least four weeks from a first team return has made this match an opportune time for some up- and- comers to make a name for themselves.
With main striker Bobby Zamora out for the rest of the year, Fulham's reputation for getting the best out of its squad will be severely tested here this afternoon.
In the Blackburn camp, Ryan Nelsen is expected to once again lead the men out, with Michel Salgado, who injured his thigh against Manchester City, still being monitored for match fitness.
Blackburn's superb home record, coupled with Fulham's disastrous away record, come into play at the bookies today, with William Hill putting a Blackburn triumph at 2.0, to Fulham's 4.0
A 1-0 win in Blackburn's favour is being dubbed the likely result at 6.5, with a 2-0 and 2-1 win resulting in equal odds of 9.0.
A Fulham win of 1-0 is set at 9.5, to a 2-0 result at 19- a great money earner on a team that does harbour the potential to break their current away-from bogey.
A very likely 1-1 draw is also a good look-in at 7.0
For Blackburn, Croatian striker Nikola Kalinic is favoured to open proceedings at 7.0, with Benjani out at 2.87 to score at any point in the game.
With the loss of Zamora, odds on the Fulham goal scoring front has shifted somewhat, with Belgian international Moussa Dembele favoured at 3.0, with the ever lethal Dempsey locked in at 3.25- enticing considering that Dempsey has scored three goals in his last three appearances against Blackburn
Today’s match up should be a lot tighter than the odds suggest, with a draw being a very likely result between two clubs dead set on stamping their intentions in the league.
Point to note: Allardyce has won none of his last five league meetings with Mark Hughes as a manager, losing four
