Blackburn Rovers Preview – Can Mowbray’s boys get back on track?
An incredible run from November to January fired Blackburn Rovers into top-two contention. However, Tony Mowbray’s men have gone off the boil lately, winning just one of their past eight in the Championship.
Since the start of February, Blackburn have suffered four defeats in seven in the league. Last time out, they did manage to hold in-form Millwall to a draw after a 2-0 loss at Fulham in the game before.
Despite their shaky form, Blackburn have managed to keep Ewood Park a fortress. Mowbray’s men have been sensational on their own patch, winning seven of the last ten and suffering just one loss. Can they make home advantage count and secure a vital victory this weekend?
Bristol City Preview – Will the Robins avoid a fourth straight loss?
Bristol City are one of the most inconsistent teams in the Championship. Overall, Nigel Pearson’s boys have won 11, drawn seven and lost 18. The Bristol club sit 19th after collecting 40 points from 36 matches.
Bristol City have lost six of their last nine in the Championship. Last weekend’s poor home reverse to Birmingham City was a third defeat in a row. The Robins are in desperate form, taking a mere three points from the last 15 on offer.

Blackburn have a great chance to put a massive three points on the board on home soil this Saturday. Bristol City are in poor form at present, and we fancy Rovers to capitalise. Check out the home win and both teams to score at 10/3.
Sam Gallagher has had to play second fiddle to the brilliant Ben Brereton Diaz this season, but with the Chile international set to miss this one through injury, Gallagher will take centre stage. The 26-year-old, who has scored six league goals this term, is the 11/2 favourite to open the scoring in this one.
