Blackburn Rovers vs Sheffield Wednesday Predictions

Blackburn to pile more misery on struggling Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday’s last two Championship road trips have ended in defeat and they are likely to lose again at Blackburn on Saturday. Valerien Ismael’s side can be backed to beat Henrik Pedersen’s out-of-form team at Ewood Park.

Blackburn are six places and 31 points above rock-bottom Sheffield Wednesday, who have won just once so far. They sit 18th in the table, with six wins from their 18 games.

Sheffield Wednesday threw away a late lead to lose 3-2 to Preston in their last Championship game and could not break their losing habit. They were priced as 23/10 outsiders to win the game.

The hosts have been solid favourites on their own patch, winning their last four Championship home games in which they were odds-on.

Sheffield Wednesday are enduring a difficult run of results, having gone 12 Championship games without recording a victory. Eight of their last ten matches have ended in defeat, including the last four.

They are finding scoring difficult. No team has failed to score in more Championship games this season than they have, with eight goalless matches in 18.

The visitors have struggled defensively of late. No team has conceded more goals in the Championship this season than Sheffield Wednesday’s 36 in 18 games, and they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 18 of their last 20 matches.

A 2-1 home win is the correct-score pick, with four of Blackburn’s six Championship victories this season coming by a single goal. Sheffield Wednesday have been beaten by a single goal in their last two matches.
