In a battle of two relegation-threatened sides in the Championship, Blackburn and Sheffield Wednesday battle it out in this reshuffled matchday 19. This match on Tuesday at Ewood Park between the 22nd-placed Rovers and the 24th-placed Owls comes with our prediction of less than 2.5 goals.
With 29 points from 29 matches (W7, D8, L14), Blackburn are three points adrift of safety in the Championship after last weekend. Wednesday are at the bottom of the points tally with -7 points (W1, D8, L20), having been given 18-point deductions in total.
The Rovers lost 1-0 at home against Hull last weekend to extend their winless run in the Championship to eight matches (D4, L4). With five of those matches seeing them fail to score, goals have been a concern for the hosts.
The defeat to Hull came at this venue, and Blackburn have won only one of their last nine home league games (D4, L4).
Wednesday were beaten 1-0 at home by Wrexham at the weekend to make it a sixth consecutive defeat in the Championship. Going further back, they haven’t won in their last 23 league games (D7, L16).
That last win came on the road, but the Owls have struggled on the road otherwise. They were beaten in six of their last seven away league trips (D1), failing to score in four of those.

Our Blackburn vs Sheffield Wednesday Prediction
It’s a clash that will give Blackburn a chance to get back to winning ways as they aim to improve their chances of beating the drop. Playing a goal-shy Wednesday could work to their advantage. Although the Rovers are not too great at scoring goals themselves. The reverse fixture ended in a 0-0 in December, and considering the lack of goals by these two teams recently, another low-scoring game can’t be ruled out at the moment.
That’s why our Blackburn vs Sheffield Wednesday prediction is less than 2.5 goals.
