Match preview

Our model makes Blackburn slight favourites, giving them a 43% chance of winning against 24% for the draw.

Our fair price for "Home win" is 2.34 — the pick only has value at a bookmaker price above that.

We expect 3.0 goals in total (1.63 for Blackburn, 1.41 for Cardiff), which points to Over 2.5 as a secondary angle.

Blackburn sit 13th on 18 points; Cardiff are 17th on 14.

Check team news before kick-off — a late change to either line-up moves the numbers.
