Cardiff City vs. Blackburn Rovers Match Analysis and Prediction

2 years ago 563

Cardiff City and Blackburn Rovers will lock horns this week at Cardiff City Stadium min the 12th game week of the EFL Championship. Kickoffs on October 4 at 22:00 EAT.

Cardiff City have made a slow start to the season winning just one of their last eight games in the league, a run which saw Steve Morison lose his job to the former Cardiff defender Mark Hudson. Cardiff’s last home game was at the back end of August in a 0-0 draw with Preston North End, and with the Bluebirds sitting perilously close to the relegation zone, results really need to turn soon if Cardiff are to avoid a relegation battle.

Cardiff City enters this meeting coming off 1-1 Championship tier versus Burnley in tgheir most recent match. In that game, Cardiff City had 41% possession, 12 with four of them on target and a goal scored by Callum Robinson (90′). Burnley got eight shots on goal with two of them on target and a goal byNathan Tella (48′).

Blackburn on the other end looks more optimistic, with the side sitting in the playoffs on 18 points from 11 games. The Rovers have been in and around the playoffs in recent seasons, and with plenty of attacking talent at their disposal, the club will definitely push for promotion this season.

Blackburn Rovers comes into this game after 2-1 Championship victory to beat Millwall in their previous fixture. In that game, Blackburn Rovers had 57% possession, 11 shots with five of them on target and goals scored by Tyrhys Dolan (57′) and Ben Brereton Díaz (63′). Millwall got 10 shots with two of them on target and a goal by Jake Cooper (75′).
