Sky pundit delivers Cardiff City v Blackburn exact score prediction as Mark Hudson prepares for second game in charge

Cardiff City will hope to silence Sky Sports pundit David Prutton after he tipped Blackburn to come away with the three points in the Welsh capital this evening.

Caretaker boss Mark Hudson takes charge of his second game, following Saturday's 1-1 draw with Burnley.

Hudson will name a team he feels is capable of winning at home for the first time since mid-August and get the Bluebirds climbing up the Championship table again.

Victory would be a fillip in his own bid to land the manager's job full-time, particularly if Cardiff could follow it up with another three points at Wigan on Saturday.

Cardiff battled back to earn a last-gasp point at home to Burnley at the weekend, with summer signing Callum Robinson heading home near the end to give the fans something to cheer.

They face another side challenging near the top tonight, but Prutton said: "Blackburn have been inconsistent of late. It’s loss, win, loss, win, loss, win in their last six. Can they break that run?"

He then predicted: "I think they could by sneaking the win. 0-1."

Hudson, of course, will have different ideas as he seeks to get the Bluebirds back to winning ways.

He remains favourite for the full-time job as things stand, with Cardiff's owner Vincent Tan keen to give Hudson a run of matches to see how he fares.

Hudson says Tan has given him the go-ahead to bring in a new coach to assist with the team.
