Blackburn Rovers vs Sheffield Wednesday Predictions

• Sheffield Wednesday have lost 15 of 21 Championship away games
• Both teams have found the net in six of the last eight Championship games between these sides
• Only Watford and Plymouth have scored more goals in the bottom half than Blackburn’s 57

Blackburn to secure safety with win

Blackburn gave their hopes of staying up a major boost with a 1-0 win away at Leeds last week and they can get the better of Sheffield Wednesday in this Championship relegation six-pointer.

The Owls have a dismal away record this season, losing 15 of their 21 road games, and they may fall to another defeat in this match. They can still pull themselves out of relegation trouble but are running out of time to do so in a congested battle to avoid the drop.

The visitors have conceded eight times in their last three away games and that could be a major issue against a strong Blackburn attack.

Samuel Szmodics has 24 goals this season, the most of any player in the second tier, and he could breach a Sheffield Wednesday defence that has been among the worst in the division.

Owls in trouble

Blackburn should be able to take full advantage of their opponents’ struggles on the road and secure safety with a win. Both teams have scored in six of the last eight meetings between these two teams and correct score backers should side with a 2-1 victory for the home team.
