Blackburn vs Bristol City Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

Prediction published on 14/09/2024, 01:04  by Sridhar in Championship Predictions

Blackburn Rovers will look to continue their unbeaten start to the campaign as they take on Bristol City with action resuming in the Championship after the international break. This 2024-25 season match #5 will be played at Ewood Park in Blackburn on Saturday, and our prediction favors goals from both teams.

The Rovers are fifth in the standings after four matches with eight points from two wins and two draws. The Robins are 14th with five points, from one win and two draws. Blackburn are unbeaten in the league season so far and have been one of the surprise packages of the campaign. They started with a 4-2 win over Derby, followed by a 2-2 draw at Norwich.

They did defeat Oxford 2-1 but clung back to a 1-1 draw against Burnley before the break, playing the game for more than 30 minutes with only ten men. The home fans will still be confident of success here, as both their wins this season have come at this venue.

Bristol have had an up-and-down season so far, winning one, drawing two, and losing once. The loss came in the final game before the break, as they were beaten 3-0 at Derby. That result halted their unbeaten start to the season, having drawn two and won 4-3 against Millwall on matchday two.

Can Bristol find some nerve to keep the home team at bay? It looks like a tough proposition, especially with Blackburn doing well at home, but the visitors should fancy getting at least a goal on board.
