Blackburn Rovers look to build on their dramatic 1–0 derby win over Preston, secured by a last-minute header from Yuki Ohashi. However, our prediction leans toward a 1-1 draw as the two teams seem to be evenly matched. Despite the victory, Blackburn manager John Eustace faces major squad problems—Cantwell, Garrett, Hedges, Miller, Pears, Pratt and Tavares are all sidelined, leaving the Riversiders thin in several key areas. At home, Michael O'Neill's troops remain competitive, averaging around 1.40 goals scored while conceding just over 1.20, but their lack of squad depth could affect intensity and rotation options. They have also seen BTTS in roughly 60% of recent home outings, showing defensive vulnerability.
Bristol City aim to bounce back from a narrow 1–0 defeat to Swansea, where they struggled creatively. The Robins are without defender Luke McNally, but otherwise carry fewer absences than Blackburn. Their away numbers remain balanced: they average 1.20 goals scored and 1.30 conceded, with BTTS landing in over half of their recent away matches. However, goal production has dipped lately, scoring just once across their last two league games.
Given Blackburn’s injury crisis and Bristol City’s inconsistency, this fixture looks tight, with Under 2.5 goals our main betting tip. Additionally, Half-Time Draw and Draw bets seem appealing.
This Championship match will be played on Tuesday 24 February 2026 at 19:45.
