Blackburn Rovers vs Bristol City Predictions

• There have been under three goals in each of Blackburn’s last ten games
• Bristol City are without a victory in eleven away league games
• Blackburn have lost just one of their last ten on home soil

Blackburn’s promotion hopes at risk

Blackburn’s season is threatening to de-rail. They have netted in just two of their last 10 matches, have been without top scorer Ben Brereton Diaz for a month and are hanging on to a play-off spot by their fingertips.

The saving grace for Tony Mowbray’s side is that they are strong at home, losing just one of their last 10 at Ewood Park, keeping seven clean sheets in the process.

None of their 10 fixtures, home or away, have included three or more goals, including a 1-1 draw at Bristol City in January, while of the 19 strikes they have conceded at home, seven came in one game, against Fulham.

City are terrible on the road

Bristol City have amassed just 14 points from 17 away league matches this season, and they head to Ewood Park without a win in 11 games on the road.

Nigel Pearson’s side have failed to score in four of those matches, while nine of those 11 fixtures have ended in defeat.

Only two of the last nine meetings between these two sides have contained three or more goals, and there is a worry from a City point of view that they will struggle against Blackburn’s resolute defence.

I predict that the hosts will win, but there will be under three goals in the game, selecting 1-0 as a correct score prediction.
