Bristol City vs Blackburn Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

Prediction published on 10/04/2024, 06:31  by Sridhar in Championship Predictions

Blackburn Rovers will look to continue their push for Championship safety as they travel to mid-table side Bristol City this midweek. The game at Ashton Gate on Wednesday will see the hosts 12th in the table with 54 points, while the visitors are 16th with 46 points. Bristol are now comfortably placed in the midtable, with a top-six spot out of reach. They will now look to finish in the top ten and are coming off a 0-0 draw against Sunderland last weekend. That result made it a good run of five games for the hosts, where they won three and drew one match, losing only to West Brom. Playing at Ashton Gate is likely to spur the home players, as they have won their last two matches at this venue. Interestingly, their last four home matches have all ended in a 1-0 scoreline, two in Bristol’s favour and two against.

Blackburn stayed four points above the bottom-three after holding prolific Southampton to a 0-0 draw. It was the first time since mid-September in more than 30 games that any team has stopped Southampton from scoring. That is a great tribute to the improved defensive performances of the Rovers. They have now lost just once across their last six league games, drawing four and winning one. This sequence has seen them concede only four goals, so the visitors will be quietly confident of steering clear of the danger zone. Even their away form mirrors their overall record lately, with three draws and a win from their last five league trips.
