THE PREDICTION
Both Bristol City and Blackburn are feeling the effects of such a packed Championship schedule with injuries plaguing both sides. However, both sides are in the playoff mix with Blackburn able to leapfrog the Robins with victory in this match. Bristol City have home advantage, but were desperately disappointing last time out in their 0-1 loss to Birmingham, whilst ten-man Blackburn salvaged a very respectable 2-2 draw away at Brentford. Despite so many injuries, Tony Mowbray’s side are riding the crest of a wave, having gone seven games unbeaten and Blackburn double chance may prove the smart play here.
