Cardiff City v Blackburn Rovers - Sky Bet Championship
Cardiff City play host to Blackburn Rovers in the EFL Championship on Tuesday

Seeking to end their three-match losing streak, Cardiff City play host to Blackburn Rovers at the Cardiff City Stadium on Tuesday.

John Eustace’s men head into the midweek clash on a three-match winning streak against the hosts and will be looking to extend this impressive run.

Cardiff City were left empty-handed once again as they fell to a 4-1 thrashing against Norwich City at Carrow Road on Saturday.

The Bluebirds have now suffered defeat in three games on the spin, conceding eight goals and scoring just once since a 1-0 victory over Watford on February 3.

Cardiff have lost 16 of their 32 Championship matches so far while claiming 12 wins and four draws to collect 40 points and sit 14th in the league table.

Blackburn Rovers, on the other hand, threw away a two-goal lead at the weekend as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Preston North End at the Deepdale Stadium.

Eustace’s men have now failed to win 10 of their last 11 league outings, losing seven and picking up three draws since mid-December.

With 37 points from 32 matches, Blackburn are currently 17th in the Championship standings, level on points with 16th-placed Plymouth Argyle.
