Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Championship match.
Since the end of February, Blackburn Rovers have picked up just one point from a possible 21, effectively ending any realistic ambitions of promotion. At home against Sheffield Wednesday, the team is once again expected to struggle in the final third — they have consistently failed to convert chances.
Blackburn Rovers
Friday’s 0:2 defeat to Middlesbrough marked a fifth straight loss for Blackburn Rovers, with the team also enduring four consecutive defeats without scoring. Across their last 10 league outings, the squad has registered only eight goals — with just three Championship sides performing worse in attack. On Tuesday, the hosts are likely to continue facing difficulties in creating clear chances, especially with Andreas Weimann and Emmanuel Dennis unavailable — leaving Valérien Ismaël without a dependable striker. The duo of Makhtar Gueye and Cauley Woodrow has failed to make an impact.
Sheffield Wednesday
Last week, Sheffield Wednesday were narrowly beaten by Hull City (0:1), remaining level on points with direct rivals Norwich City — all three clubs are on 52 points. Each of Sheffield Wednesday’s last three matches has featured fewer than three goals, with the team scoring just once during that run. Away from home, they have collected 30 points in 20 matches — the fifth-best record in the league — making a defensive collapse on Tuesday unlikely.
Blackburn Rovers vs Sheffield Wednesday Prediction
The reverse fixture between these mid-table teams ended in a low-scoring match — Blackburn Rovers edged Sheffield Wednesday 1:0. Another close contest is expected here, so the recommendation is Total Under.
