Bristol City vs Blackburn Prediction: Team to Win, Form

Bristol City host Blackburn in the Championship on Wednesday, with vital points on the line as we head into the final straight of the campaign.

With five games remaining, Bristol City still hold slim hopes of making the playoffs, while Blackburn need to be careful not to be pulled into the relegation battle.

Current Form

Bristol City Current Form

From 17th February to 5th March, Bristol City lost four games in a row versus QPR, Sheffield Wednesday, Cardiff and Ipswich.

Their form has improved drastically since then, as over their last five they have lost one, drawn one and won three. They have gone three games unbeaten and at the weekend drew 0-0 away at Sunderland.

They have kept a clean sheet in three successive Championship matches.

Blackburn Current Form

Blackburn recently recovered from a loss against Ipswich with one of their best results of the season – a hugely impressive 5-1 demolition of Sunderland away from home.

They followed that with a commendable 0-0 draw away at Championship challengers, Southampton.

Bristol City Team News

Liam Manning has no new injury issues from the weekend so has a full squad to choose from for this one, barring any pre-match injuries.

Blackburn Team News

Ryan Hedges suffered a hamstring problem against Southampton so is a major doubt while Sammi Szmodics may be rested after playing through injury against the Saints. Yasin Ayar is out with a hamstring problem.
