In the Championship, Blackburn Rovers will play Cardiff City at Ewood Park on Sunday, January 1. Despite a generally successful campaign, the hosts have struggled to establish themselves since their return to competitive competition. Blackburn took the lead in the first five minutes of their most recent match and fell behind ten minutes later to in-form Middlesbrough in a 2-1 defeat. With 39 points, Blackburn is in third place.
Cardiff, on the other hand, has had a tough season but has started getting points to avoid relegation. In their most recent match, they drew 0-0 with Coventry City, and they should have no complaints given that they failed to make any significant chances to score. With 28 points from 25 games, the visitors are 19th in the league.
