Cardiff City are 6/4 (Betfred) to win, while Blackburn Rovers are 21/10 and the draw 12/5 (both Victor Chandler). The Bluebirds are 4/6 “to qualify” for the semi-finals, while Rovers are 11/10 (both Paddy Power) to lift some of the gloom by reaching the final four.Cardiff City boast an international calibre strike-force in Wales’ Robert Earnshaw and Scotland’s Kenny Miller, and they are 6/1 (SportingBet) to be the first goalscorer and 6/1 (Boylesports) to be the last goalscorer. Team-mate Peter Whittingham has been in fine form this season, scoring eight goals in all competitions, and he is 11/1 (Victor Chandler) in both of those markets.Rovers will be looking to veteran striker Aiyegbeni Yakubu and he is 8/1 (Coral) in both the first goalscorer and last goalscorer markets, as is David Goodwillie. Another Rovers forward, Ruben Rochina, is 10/1 (Coral) in both markets.
