Team News

Luke McNally and Cameron Pring are still waiting to make their first appearances of the season for the Robins, while Harry Cornick and captain Jason Knight remain on the sidelines.

Rob Atkinson has become the latest addition to City’s extensive injury list, joining Max Bird, Joe Williams and Josh Stokes on the sidelines.

Blackburn are also contending with fitness concerns, as Moussa Baradji, Jake Garrett, Hayden Carter and Augustus Kargbo are all expected to miss the trip south.

Todd Cantwell has resumed training following a knee injury, but Tuesday’s fixture is likely to come too soon for the midfielder.

Bristol City vs Blackburn Odds

Bristol City are the Evs favourites to claim the three points on Tuesday, while Blackburn are 11/4 underdogs to head back to Lancashire with the spoils.

A draw at Ashton Gate is 12/5, while the Robins to be leading at both the half-time and full-time whistle is available at 11/5.

Bristol City to win and both teams to score @ 16/5

Failing to win on any of their last five visits, Ashton Gate has not been a happy hunting ground for Blackburn, with Rovers’ last win there coming back in December 2019.

City are backed to respond to Saturday’s 5-1 defeat at Stoke, in a match that should witness goals at both ends.

Both teams have scored in 12 of Bristol City’s last 14 Championship games and that trend is expected to continue in a home victory.

Anis Mehmeti anytime goalscorer @ 13/8

The leading goalscorer for Bristol City in the Championship this season, Albania international Anis Mehmeti is backed to add to his five league goals for the campaign on Tuesday.

He hit City’s opener in their 3-1 home win over a Southampton side who were playing Premier League football last season, and the 24-year-old Mehmeti is good value to add to his goal collection against a Blackburn defence that has conceded 17 in 12 Championship games this term.
