Cardiff City - Blackburn Rovers predictions

Cardiff City will have to fight an uphill battle to win this match. They are the underdogs of the matchup – though Blackburn Rovers don’t have a huge advantage. Still, with the 2.59 odds on a home win, things may get a bit dicey.

The visiting team understands the difficulty of the task that lies ahead. A win against The Bluebirds on their own field would be a major feat, and it is always a tough endeavor.

Cardiff’s defeat in the previous round was to be expected, frankly. They played as visitors against a considerably stronger team - Norwich City . They were already trailing behind during half-time, and things only went down from there on, resulting in a compelling 4:1 defeat.

The odds were against The Rovers in their most recent Championship match – most likely due to the fact that they were playing away. For better or worse, neither side managed to gain a decisive lead throughout the game’s runtime, and it eventually ended in an HT/GT draw.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and The Bluebirds have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

The Rovers’s recent performance as visitors has been marked by a lot of conceded goals – 7 in their previous 3 away games.

A quick look at the recent head-to-head history of this matchup doesn’t put Cardiff City in a great light, despite the favourable betting odds. They already lost several times in this season alone. That said, not all of these games were in the same competition, and they’ll have the home-field advantage on their side in this bout.

This Tuesday, both teams will be at full strength and able to give it their all.

Going for a Home Win is already a fairly safe bet but we’d like to shore it up even further. The highest-value way of achieving this is through a Draw No Bet wager, which shortens the odds to 1 but is well worth the price.
