Match Facts
Cardiff have only lost two of their last eight home league games against Blackburn (W4 D2), with the Bluebirds winning 1-0 in this exact fixture last season.
Blackburn won 1-0 in this season’s reverse fixture against Cardiff – the last time they did a league double over the Welsh side without conceding a single goal was in the 1926-27 season (two 1-0 wins).
Cardiff have lost each of their last three home games in the Championship, and last had a longer such run on home soil in November 2021 (a run of six straight defeats).
Blackburn have lost three of their four midweek games (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) away from home in the Championship this season (W1), including each of the last two without scoring.
The only Cardiff player to score or assist in a Championship home game since Boxing Day 2023 is Karlan Grant (scored v Plymouth), with the Bluebirds failing to score a goal in each of their last three.
