Blackburn VS Cardiff

Fixtures, lineups and Stats

VS

Cardiff vs Blackburn is a contested Championship matchup shaped by alternating answers rather than a settled direction. Blackburn won 3–1 on 9 November 2024 and 1–0 on 21 October 2023, but Cardiff answered with a 2–1 result on 15 March 2025. A 0–0 draw adds another texture, while the League Cup’s 5–2 Blackburn win remains secondary to the league balance.

Stats for this game

Matchup Cardiff VS Blackburn

Blackburn have supplied clear margins

Blackburn’s 1–0 league win on 21 October 2023 and 3–1 result on 9 November 2024 gave them a strong line in the comparison. The 5–2 League Cup scoreline on 27 September 2023 was wider, but its cup setting makes it secondary when reading the Championship matchup. These results point to Blackburn’s ability to create separation without settling every encounter. The result shows why neither set of scorelines should be read in isolation.

Cardiff’s answer changes the emphasis

Cardiff won 2–1 at Blackburn on 15 March 2025, while the 0–0 draw on 20 February 2024 shows another route through the fixture. Together, those scores keep Blackburn’s edge from becoming a complete hierarchy and give Cardiff a meaningful counterpoint. The enduring question is whether either club can turn its clearest result into a durable pattern, or whether the Championship pairing continues to move between narrow answers and larger margins.
