Betting on Blackburn Rovers

JefeBet Prediction
In view of its latest results, we believe that it will be the home team who will take the victory in this Bristol City vs Blackburn Rovers. Although they haven’t had the best display in the Championship, they do have the backing of the last matchday in the FA Cup which definitely lifted the team’s spirits.
Blackburn is a tremendously complex opponent that is also coming off the back of a drubbing against Rotherham and will be looking for revenge, so it will surely be a very close match.
Prediction: Bristol City win 2-1.
