We said: Cardiff City 1-2 Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn are like a packet of Revels, with six wins and five defeats from 11 games highlighting their inconsistency, yet they currently sit inside the playoffs. Meanwhile, Cardiff will be disappointed to be languishing in 18th, but under a new manager they will be looking for a bounce in form. Form favours the away side here, and a narrow win might be on the cards. Read more.
