Match Preview
Rovers are currently missing key personnel like Ryan Hedges and Scott Wharton due to long term injuries. This has clearly impacted their defensive stability at Ewood Park recently. Still, they showed some grit by putting together a short two game unbeaten run to build momentum.
Andri Gudjohnsen remains the primary threat for the hosts with 7 goals to his name so far. He averages 0.5 goals per 90 minutes which is quite respectable for a struggling side. His partnership with Yuki Ohashi will be crucial for securing survival points.
The atmosphere at Ewood Park might be tense given the team's position in 22nd place overall. Fans are hoping for a turnaround as the club has only picked up five points from five games. They need to improve their low average of shots on target.
Sheffield Wednesday are in a dire situation at the bottom of the pile with only 11 points total. They have suffered four defeats in their last five outings which is a major concern. The manager must find a way to stop the defensive leaks quickly.
Injuries to players like Di'Shon Bernard and George Brown have decimated the squad's options recently. They have failed to score in 44 percent of their matches this season which is a staggering statistic. It is hard to see where the goals come from tonight.
Barry Bannan is still the creative heartbeat but even he is struggling to lift this squad lately. They concede far too many corners and chances on the road. We hope our Championship Predictions help you find value in this bottom of the table clash.
Blackburn vs Sheffield Wednesday Predicted Lineups
Blackburn Rovers and Sheffield Wednesday both contribute to high corner counts in their respective home and away matches. Blackburn averages 6.13 corners won at Ewood Park while Wednesday concede 6.92 corners on their travels. This combined average suggests a very active game in the wide areas. Both teams are desperate for a result which often leads to direct play and frequent deflections over the goal line.
The statistics for this specific matchup show that 80 percent of Blackburn home games have seen over 9.5 corners. Similarly, Sheffield Wednesday games away from home often reach high totals due to their defensive struggles. With both managers likely pushing for a win to escape the relegation zone, we expect plenty of attacking intent and set piece opportunities to occur throughout the 90 minutes of play.
