Blackburn could jump as high as ninth in the EFL Championship standings with a win over Cardiff City, whom they are set to host at Ewood Park on matchday nine. The home side have won three of their last five Championship games against this opponent. This strengthens our prediction for a Blackburn win.
Blackburn are sitting in 16th place in the league standings with nine points. Only three points separate them from ninth-placed Charlton Athletic.
A return to domestic action sees Rovers having won just one of their last seven matches across all competitions (D2, L4). However, their latest 2-2 away draw against Portsmouth extended their unbeaten league run to two games.
They'll hope to make home advantage count as they seek to extend that unbeaten league run. Their confidence at Ewood Park was reignited with a 3-1 win over Millwall. That result ended a two-match losing streak.
Cardiff City are languishing in the bottom four with seven points and have maintained a two-point cushion over the red-dotted line.
The Bluebirds have also struggled for consistency in the EFL Championship. However, they are in a far worse state, having won just one of their last eight matches.
In their latest match, they defeated Charlton Athletic 3-1 at home. That marked their first EFL Championship win of the season, ending a seven-match winless run.
