Blackburn struggled to get the better of their hosts last weekend as they were restricted to just three attempts on goal on their way to a goalless draw in Yorkshire. Rovers currently occupy sixth place and are unbeaten in their last four league outings. Cardiff offered little attacking threat against league leaders Bournemouth last time out with Philip Billing's second-half goal condemning Mick McCarthy's side to a narrow defeat on home turf. The Welsh side have tailed off after a strong start, losing three of their last four league games. 2:1
Blackburn have drawn their last 5 home matches against Cardiff in all competitions. Blackburn have seen under 2.5 goals in their last 5 home matches against Cardiff in all competitions. Blackburn have scored at least 2 goals in 6 of their last 7 home matches (Championship). Cardiff are undefeated in 12 of their last 13 matches against Blackburn in all competitions. Blackburn are undefeated in 10 of their last 11 matches (Championship).
Tony Mowbray could hand a start to Liverpool loanee Leighton Clarkson with John Buckley moving into a more advanced role. Bradley Johnson and Joe Rankin-Costello are both doubts while forward Sam Gallagher is a confirmed absentee. Mick McCarthy could switch both full-backs for the trip to Ewood Park with Joel Bagan and Perry Ng both in contention for recalls. Former Luton striker James Collins could also return to the starting XI to partner Welsh international Kieffer Moore up top.
