Contents
Match Result Prediction: Draw
Blackburn Rovers are struggling as they have lost four of their last five attempts in various competitions, including three consecutive defeats at home leading up to this match. However, they have only suffered one defeat in their last seven home matches against Cardiff City. The Bluebirds, on the other hand, have avoided defeats in recent outings but have drawn their last four games in a row. In fact, six of the last seven head-to-head matches between these teams at Blackburn's home ground have ended in ties, and we may see this trend continue in this game.
Total Goals Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals
Blackburn Rovers have struggled to find the back of the net, scoring only six times in their last five outings. Cardiff City have also had difficulty offensively, with just three goals in their previous five league matches. In addition, the Bluebirds have kept consecutive clean sheets in their last two Championship matches. Furthermore, four of the last five head-to-head meetings at Blackburn's home ground have seen a low number of goals scored. Given these numbers, it is likely that we will see another low-scoring match with a total of under 2.5 goals.
Correct Score Prediction: 1-1 Draw
The Rovers have managed to score in all of the previous five outings consistently but they have rattled the net only once in four of them. Cardiff City have also failed to score more than once in four of the recent five away outings in the league. Both teams have also been unable to score at least twice in five of the last six H2Hs at Blackburn’s home, ending three of them in 1-1 draws. Based on the given stats, we expect this game to feature a 1-1 scoreline once again.
Blackburn vs Cardiff: Form, Recent Games, and News
Blackburn Rovers Preview
In their last match against Middlesbrough, Blackburn Rovers scored an early goal after just five minutes, but were unable to defend effectively and suffered a 1-2 defeat. This result, along with dropping 12 points in their last five league matches, has left the Rovers in 3rd place on the table with 13 wins. However, the team has no reported fitness or suspension issues coming into this game.
Cardiff City Preview
The Bluebirds travelled to Coventry in the last game and saved a point with a 0-0 draw. A lack of wins in recent outings has limited the team to the nineteenth position on the table with 28 points. Left-back Jamilu Collins won’t be able to give his services in this game due to a cruciate ligament rupture.
