REF’s picks

Blackburn Rovers hold a slight edge at home against a Cardiff side battling significant injury issues, making a home win a solid value entry. While Rovers have struggled for defensive consistency this term, the visitors are missing key creative outlets like Aaron Ramsey, which severely limits their away threat. Expect a tight contest, but Blackburn's squad depth should ultimately see them through.

1. 1Cardiff are severely depleted in midfield following Aaron Ramsey's hamstring injury in midweek.
2. 2Blackburn enjoy home advantage and possess enough attacking quality through Todd Cantwell to break down a struggling defence.
3. 3Rovers have been prone to defensive lapses and draws this season, meaning victory is far from guaranteed.
