Our prediction for this Championship match:
Blackburn Rovers will look to make amends for back-to-back losses to Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds United when they take on Bristol City on Tuesday evening. The Riversiders suffered a dip in form, but they are surely capable of matching the Robins in front of home fans. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but all Tyrhys Dolan, Joe Rankin-Costello, Dominic Hyam, Aynsley Pears, Ryan Hedges, and Sam Gallagher remain in the recovery room.
Liam Manning’s troops, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Huddersfield Town. As the visitors are eager to return to winning ways in the English second tier as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. The visitors will be without Haydon Roberts, Andy King, Nahki Wells, Ross McCrorie, Rob Atkinson, and Ayman Benarous in the midweek clash.
