The72’s writers share their prediction for the upcoming Championship clash between Blackburn Rovers and Cardiff City on Saturday.
Blackburn Rovers are set to make a strong push up the Championship standings following the international break. They ended a streak of four consecutive losses with a convincing 4-0 victory over QPR on the road just before the international break.
Due to their recent poor form, Jon Dahl Tomasson’s team currently occupies a disappointing 17th place in the Championship. Nevertheless, they possess the talent in their squad to climb the standings and contend for a playoff spot once again.
On the other hand, Cardiff City currently sits in 8th place, exceeding expectations under Erol Bulut. However, they lost and drew their last two matches before the break, which somewhat halted their momentum after a solid run of performances.
Cardiff has encountered difficulties when playing away, securing only one victory in their last five road games.
Here, a few of our writers provide their predictions for the upcoming match…
James Ray says, “Blackburn Rovers have already demonstrated their abilities against Cardiff City, defeating Bulut’s team 5-2 at home in the EFL Cup. Their objective will likely be to replicate that performance. With Arnor Sigurdsson in good form, Blackburn Rovers have acquired a valuable asset, and he could have a significant impact once again.
“Cardiff has shown they can be a formidable team on certain occasions, but they must exercise caution to avoid slipping down the league table. Another loss in this match would be a setback, but I believe it will be a closer contest than the cup game.”
Prediction for Blackburn Rovers vs. Cardiff City: 3-2.
