1st Prediction For Bristol City vs Blackburn Rovers: Match Result – Blackburn Rovers – 13/5
Bristol City will be happy to return to home soil after Stoke City put 5 past them in Staffordshire on Saturday afternoon. The Robins have won successive games in the South West, after just 1 victory from their opening 4 home games. Gerhard Struber’s side had won 3 games on the trot across all venues, remaining inside the Championship Play-Off places despite that heavy loss.
There were plenty of perplexing results in the second tier over the course of the last gameweek, with Blackburn delivering one such scoreline at Leicester City. Rovers have won successive matches in the league for the first time this season, after losing 7 of their first 10 games. Valérien Ismaël’s side have won half of their 6 away games this season, with only 6 sides taking more points on the road.
Momentum is an important factor in football, and with the away side faring better on their travels, expect Blackburn to shake up the Championship standings once more.
2nd Prediction For Bristol City vs Blackburn Rovers: Over 2.5 Goals – 19/20
So far this season, City have been an entertaining watch at home. Only 4 teams in the division have bettered their 11 goals, scoring 3+ times twice this term, including in their recent victory against Southampton. Across all venues, the Robins are the third-highest scorers, managing 21 goals in their 13 games to date.
It is a rather different picture for Blackburn, who are among the lowest teams in the Championship for away goals. They have just 6 in as many matches on their travels, all coming in their 3 away victories this term. Last failing to net against leaders Coventry City, expect there to be goals in this contest.
3rd Prediction For Bristol City vs Blackburn Rovers: Both Teams To Score – Yes – 17/20
Goals have been free-flowing at both ends of Ashton Gate this season. While the Robins kept a clean sheet last time out against Birmingham City, they had previously conceded in each of their last 5 home games. Keeping the Blues out was the only time that Bristol City and their opponents had failed to score since the Robins’ goalless draw against Charlton Athletic in August.
Blackburn have conceded the same amount on their travels as have gone in at the other end (6). But, in each of their 6 away league games, only 1 team have found the net on every occasion. If Rovers are to get anything from this midweek encounter, expect that trend to come to an end.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head:
Bristol City’s impressive run of form since the October international break was brought to an abrupt end at Stoke City on Saturday afternoon. Suffering just their third league loss of the campaign, the Potters climbed above Struber’s side, handing them their worst result of the season thus far. City lost no ground on the automatic promotion places after the top 2 were both defeated, though the picture behind became a lot more congested.
The Robins had recorded 3 victories on the spin at the end of last month, narrowly beating Norwich City and Birmingham City, while handing Will Still one of his final losses as Southampton manager. An inconsistent Watford side presents a difficult challenge on Friday evening in Hertfordshire, before facing Swansea City in almost 3 weeks’ time. Trips to Wrexham and Portsmouth conclude their action in November.
Blackburn are riding the high of their latest league triumph against Leicester City, a result which moves Rovers further clear of the drop zone. Rewinding 2 weeks, Ismaël’s side were just a point above basement side Sheffield Wednesday after losing to their Steel City rivals, Sheffield United, at Ewood Park. But a huge victory against Southampton was followed by that success in the East Midlands last Saturday.
That has seen the East Lancashire side climb to 19th place, 4 points clear of the Blades, after ending their 5-game winless streak with successive victories. Old boss John Eustace brings his in-form Derby County side to Ewood Park on Saturday lunchtime. After the international break, there’s a derby against Preston North End to contend with, before facing Queens Park Rangers and Wrexham in quick succession.
Regulars in the Championship in recent times, Bristol City are 6 wins clear in the historic head-to-head. Last season, both sides won one meeting each, with City victorious at Ashton Gate in January.
