Cardiff City v Blackburn Rovers preview and tips

Cardiff City find themselves in a rare position heading into Tuesday night’s Carling Cup tie with Blackburn Rovers – they are favourites to beat a team from a higher division.

Everything looks set for a cup upset at the Cardiff City Stadium, with the home side having won six of their last eight matches.

Malky Mackay has done a great job in lifting the Bluebirds after more play-off heartache in May, their recent run propelling them up to third in the Championship.

In contrast to Cardiff’s fantastic run, Blackburn have continued to toil at the bottom of the Premier League, going down meekly at Stoke on Saturday.

The weekend’s results leave Blackburn rooted to the foot of the league and Steve Kean will see this quarter-final tie as nothing more than a distraction in their fight against the drop.

Blackburn will do well to reach the semi-finals, given their current form, with Cardiff 6/4 to win the tie inside 90 minutes.

The Bluebirds recent good form has been helped by Peter Whittingham’s run of scoring in four out of the last five games. The former Aston Villa winger is 9/4 to score again against Rovers.
