Bristol City host Blackburn Rovers in Championship battle

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 13 Oct, 17:38 · Archive

Bristol City play Blackburn Rovers in the Championship at Ashton Gate on Tuesday night, with kick-off at 7:45pm. The Robins drew 1-1 at Charlton Athletic on Saturday after the international break and have won just one of their past four games. Despite sitting 10th, they remain level on points with the five teams directly above them.

Blackburn won 2-1 at home to Cardiff City on the same weekend to extend their unbeaten run to three matches. They start the evening three places and two points below Bristol City. A win for City could move them into the play-off places, whilst Blackburn are yet to win away from home in the Championship this season, having drawn three and lost one of their four away matches.

The two sides have an even recent record against each other in the Championship. Bristol City won 2-1 most recently in February, and the sides have alternated between victories and defeats in their past six league meetings. Blackburn won 1-0 when they last visited Ashton Gate last season.
