Blackburn Rovers

DLWDLW ⚖

Blackburn Rovers will be looking for a repeat result of the 0-1 Championship triumph versus Leeds United.

In that game, Blackburn Rovers had 25% possession and 3 attempts at goal with 2 on target. The scorer for Blackburn Rovers was Sammie Szmodics (82'). At the other end, Leeds United got 19 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target.

A recurring trait of more recent Blackburn Rovers games is seeing a zero in the scoreline.

From their previous sextet of matches leading up to this one, in as many as 5 of them a wager on BTTS would have been a losing one.

A look at their previous results shows us that Blackburn Rovers:

• are winless against Sheffield Wednesday in their last 3 league matches.
• have not won at home in their last 5 league games. That's never good.

Sheffield Wednesday

The numbers tell their own story, and Sheffield Wednesday have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, conceding 12 goals in total. Defensively, Sheffield Wednesday have clearly had some problems. Despite that, we’ll just have to find out if that pattern might be sustained in this next game.

Ahead of this meeting, Sheffield Wednesday have not won against Blackburn Rovers in games played away from home for the previous 3 league games.

📰 Team News: Blackburn Rovers

Looking at personnel, there is just the sole fitness concern for the Blackburn Rovers manager John Eustace to be concerned about from an otherwise fully-primed set of players. Arnór Sigurdsson (unknown injury) won’t play.

In our view, Rovers look set to line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, handing starts to Aynsley Pears, Hayden Carter, Kyle McFadzean, Dominic Hyam, Callum Brittain, Joe Rankin-Costello, Sondre Tronstad, Harry Pickering, Samuel Szmodics, Tyrhys Dolan and Sam Gallagher.

🗞️ Team News: Sheffield Wednesday

Thanks to a largely healthy group, there’s only a single fitness issue for the Sheffield Wednesday gaffer Danny Röhl to be concerned with. Juan Delgado (Hip injury) misses out for this game.

From our viewpoint, The Owls seem likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 system, going with James Beadle, Pol Valentin, Dominic Iorfa, Michael Ihiekwe, Akin Famewo, Will Vaulks, Barry Bannan, Anthony Musaba, Josh Windass, Marvin Johnson and Iké Ugbo.

💡 Prediction

We think that Sheffield Wednesday will have to work hard as a team to get anything against this Blackburn Rovers outfit who we reckon should gain the upper hand.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a very even match with a 1-0 win for Blackburn Rovers when the full-time whistle blows.

Should be an interesting one.
