Blackburn Rovers 1-2 Cardiff City

Current streaks

Recent form

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers' recent form has been inconsistent, with the team currently experiencing a three-match winless streak in the Championship. After a promising pair of 2-0 victories against Plymouth Argyle and West Brom, Rovers have slumped to two consecutive defeats, including a 3-0 drubbing at the hands of Swansea. Despite their current 9th position in the league, Blackburn's goal-scoring has been a concern, netting just six times in their last six matches, with an average of one goal per game. Defensively, they've managed two clean sheets during this period, but have also conceded seven goals, including three in a single match against Swansea. The team's recent performances have been characterised by low-scoring affairs, with four out of the last six games featuring fewer than 2.5 goals.

Cardiff City

Cardiff City's recent form has been concerning, with the Bluebirds currently languishing in 21st position in the Championship. The Welsh side are in the midst of a worrying four-match losing streak across all competitions, having suffered defeats against Luton Town, Sunderland, Burnley, and Aston Villa in the FA Cup. Their goal-scoring woes are evident, with only five goals netted in their last six matches, averaging a mere 0.83 goals per game. Defensively, Cardiff have been struggling as well, conceding nine goals in this period and managing just one clean sheet. The team's recent record of one win, one draw, and four losses in their last six matches paints a picture of a side battling to find consistency. With both teams scoring in 67% of these games and an even split between matches going over and under 2.5 goals, Cardiff City's fixtures have been relatively competitive despite their poor results.

Recent home/away form

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers have shown mixed form at home recently, with their last six matches at Ewood Park yielding three wins, two losses, and a draw. The Rovers have struggled to find consistency, alternating between positive and negative results without managing to string together more than two consecutive wins or losses. Their most impressive performance came in a 3-0 victory over Portsmouth, which stands out as their highest-scoring game in this period. Defensively, Blackburn have been somewhat vulnerable, keeping only two clean sheets in their last six home fixtures. The team's goal-scoring record has been modest, averaging 1.33 goals per game, while their defensive record is slightly better, conceding an average of one goal per match. Interestingly, two-thirds of their recent home games have seen fewer than 2.5 goals, suggesting a tendency towards tighter, lower-scoring affairs at Ewood Park.

Cardiff City

Cardiff City have been struggling away from home, with a concerning run of form that has seen them fail to win any of their last six away matches. The Bluebirds have suffered four defeats and managed just two draws during this period, conceding a worrying 17 goals whilst scoring only 6. Their defensive frailties are particularly evident, having failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these games. The most alarming result came in their 7-0 thrashing at the hands of Leeds United, which stands out as a particularly high-scoring encounter. Cardiff's tendency to be involved in goal-filled matches is further emphasised by the fact that 67% of their recent away games have seen over 2.5 goals scored. With both teams finding the net in two-thirds of these fixtures, Cardiff's away days have certainly been eventful, albeit not in their favour.
