Sheffield Wednesday vs Blackburn prediction: The Owls are badly struggling
Key stats
- Sheffield Wednesday are winless in their last 16 games.
- The Owls have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last nine games.
- The home side have been involved in over 2.5 goals in four of their last five matches.
- Blackburn have conceded first in five of their last six meetings between the two sides.
Correct score prediction: Sheffield Wednesday 1-2 Blackburn
The Owls have registered one win, seven draws and 14 defeats from their 22 Championship matches this season. They have scored just 18 goals, which is the worst attacking record in the division, and conceded 45, the worst defensive record.
Wednesday were already deducted 18 points this season following regulation breaches, and they are at the bottom of the Championship table. They are on minus eight points, 30 points from safety, and it would require a miraculous effort to prevent them from going down.
Blackburn have been struggling as well, but they have only lost one of their last six Championship matches. Rovers have a decent away record, picking up 17 points from 11 matches, and hence we predict they will grab all three points.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Blackburn favourites
HOME: 16/5 (4.2) – 23.8%
DRAW: 13/5 (3.6) – 27.8%
AWAY: 5/6 (1.83) – 54.6%
*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Blackburn have managed seven wins, five draws and 10 defeats from their 22 Championship matches this season, with 26 points, leaving them in 18th spot in the table, and bookmakers have kept them as clear favourites to win the game.

Sheff Wednesday have been involved in over 2.5 goals in four of their last five games, and total goals (over 2.5) at 19/20 (1.95) with 51.3% chances of landing looks appealing.

Blackburn preview: Impressive away form
Despite losing three of their previous five fixtures against Wednesday, their recent form, especially away from home, should encourage them to pick up a win here.
Ryan Alebiosu is absent due to his participation in the Nigeria team in the Africa Cup of Nations.
Hayden Carter, Adam Forshaw, Andri Gudjohnsen, Augustus Kargbo, Kristi Montgomery, Balazs Toth and Scott Wharton are all missing due to injuries.

Player to watch: Yuki Ohashi
In the absence of Andri Gudjohnsen, who has been the leading goalscorer in the squad with seven goals, all eyes will be on Yuki Ohashi.
The 29-year-old has six goals in 22 appearances during the current season, and he is expected to deliver once again.
