Blackburn host Cardiff at Ewood Park on Saturday afternoon, kick-off 3pm, and our Blackburn vs Cardiff predictions and betting tips favour the hosts against a side that has struggled badly on its travels this season.
Our Blackburn vs Cardiff predictions and betting tips are below, with Anthony Eadson’s best bets and score prediction.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson backs a home win in an open game.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Yousef Salech to score anytime | 7/5 (William Hill) | Yousef Salech has been Cardiff’s main source of goals and carries their threat at Ewood Park. Both defences have leaked this season, with the pair shipping 12 goals apiece, so chances should come at both ends. Even in a game Blackburn are fancied to win, the striker is a fair bet to find the net. At 7/5 to score anytime, Salech looks the pick of the visiting options, with Cardiff relying heavily on him in front of goal. |
| Blackburn and both teams to score | 5/1 (Betway) | Blackburn have a strong recent record against Cardiff, winning six of the last ten meetings, and face a side that has lost three of its four away games. The hosts should edge it at Ewood Park, but with both defences this generous a clean sheet looks unlikely. A home win with both teams scoring fits the pattern. At 5/1, Blackburn and both teams to score is the value call, with Cardiff having won only two of the last ten against Rovers. |
