Team News

Blackburn
Cardiff
  • Jon Dahl Tomasson could make one change to the side that hammered QPR with central midfielder Lewis Travis returning to the starting XI.
  • Niall Ennis returned to the bench for that game, but Rovers remain without six first-team players due to injuries.
  • Ike Ugbo is struggling for form up top, so Erol Bulut could hand a start to Callum Robinson.
  • The away side have four confirmed absentees for the trip to Ewood Park, including Aaron Ramsey and Yakou Meite.

Prediction

  • Blackburn put an end to a miserable run of form in style before the international break, hammered QPR 4-0 on their visit to Loftus Road in a one-sided affair.
  • Prior to that result, the home side had lost four league games on the spin and Jon Dahl Tomasson will now look to build some positive momentum.
  • Cardiff could only claim a single point from their clash with a struggling Watford side last time out as Mark McGuinness' first-half goal was cancelled out by Vakoun Bayo.
  • The Welsh club sit in eighth place after the international break but have recorded just a single win away from home in the league this season.
