Matchday 34 in the Championship sees relegation-battling Blackburn hosting mid-table Bristol at Ewood Park. Rovers come into this clash sitting 20th in the standings while the Robins are in 12th place. To the match prediction!
Blackburn have put together their best run of form since early November following their 1-0 win over Preston on Friday. Yuki Ohashi sent the home fans into raptures with a dramatic late winner in the fifth minute of stoppage time.
It marked the Riversiders second win in a row and their third from the last four overall, giving them some extra breathing room over the bottom three. The hosts now hold a five-point cushion over 22nd-place Leicester City.
It also marks the continuation of Blackburn’s ‘new manager bounce’ who are now 2-0-0 under Michael O’Neill following their 3-1 away win over QPR last weekend.
Bristol City come into this fixture looking to bounce back after a 1-0 away loss to Swansea. With only two wins from their last eight Championship matches, the Reds have seen the gap between themselves and the promotion playoffs grow to four points.
There’s been a few worrying defensive performances for Bristol during that stretch. They had five put past them in their own backyard by Derby County and would then go on to concede five goals in the next three.

Our Blackburn vs Bristol City Prediction
Blackburn’s recent lockdown defensive performances at Ewood Park should give them plenty of confidence heading into this match. In those two 1-0 victories, Rovers allowed just a combined five shots against.
Bristol have been wildly inconsistent this term and it's hard to know which team is going to show up. They’ve failed to score in three of their last four away matches and will now face an in-form Blackburn defence. Therefore, we see the home side as the more likely of the two to get the three points. Our Blackburn vs Bristol City prediction: Blackburn wins.
