Match Preview

Blackburn Rovers will host Bristol City at Ewood Park on February 24, 2026, in a Championship encounter.

Positioned 20th in the standings, Blackburn Rovers have accrued 38 points, while Bristol City sits in 12th place with 47 points.

Blackburn Rovers have struggled at home, losing 9 of their last 18 matches played at their own ground.

Meanwhile, Bristol City has faced challenges on the road, losing 50 percent of their last 6 away matches in the Championship.

In past head-to-head meetings, Blackburn Rovers have emerged victorious in 3 out of their last 6 clashes with Bristol City.

With the statistical data pointing towards a low-scoring affair, the model predicts that under 2.5 goals will be scored in this match.

Substitute Yuki Ohashi scored a 95th-minute header to seal a derby-day win against rivals Preston on Friday night. Michael O'Neill has made an immediate impact since taking over as Blackburn manager with Rovers now chasing a fourth win in five league games, and their third in a row.

Bristol City were unable to contain Zan Vipotnik, the Championship's top scorer, on Saturday afternoon as his first-half strike condemned the Robins to a 1-0 away defeat against Swansea. Gerhard Struber's side have won just one and lost three of their last five Championship games on the road.
