Blackburn will seek to put more ground between themselves and the Championship relegation zone when they host Bristol City on Tuesday (19:45 GMT).

Rovers are five points clear of the drop-zone after a dramatic derby win over Preston on Friday, their second straight victory, and have lost just two of their past nine at Ewood Park, earning 13 points.

Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Swansea saw the Robins slip to 12th, though still within four points of the play-off spots in a tightly-packed table.

City have won just one of their past five away games to earn four points and failed to score in three of those.

  • Following their 1-0 win in November, Blackburn are looking to complete a first league double over Bristol City since 2019/20.
  • Bristol City have lost their past two away league games against Blackburn, last losing more consecutive visits to Ewood Park between 1957 and 1967 (4).
  • Blackburn have won three of their past five league games against Bristol City (L2), more than they had in their previous 13 (W2 D5 L6).
  • Blackburn have won just one of their past nine midweek (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) home league games (D3 L5), though it came in their most recent encounter against Sheffield Wednesday earlier this month.
  • Bristol City have won just one of their past six midweek (Tues, Weds, Thurs) league games (D2 L3), beating Portsmouth 5-0 on New Year's Day.
