The upcoming Championship clash between Blackburn Rovers and Sheffield Wednesday brings together two sides desperate for points in their fight against relegation. Scheduled for Tuesday at Ewood Park, this rearranged matchday 19 fixture sees the 22nd-placed Rovers host the bottom-placed Owls. Both teams have endured long winless runs, and with their recent struggles in front of goal, this encounter promises to be a tense and low-scoring affair.

Blackburn Rovers’ Recent Form and Key Stats

Blackburn Rovers enter this match with 29 points from 29 games (7 wins, 8 draws, 14 defeats), sitting three points below the safety line. Their latest outing ended in a 0-1 home defeat to Hull City on January 31, extending their winless streak in the Championship to eight matches (4 draws, 4 losses). The lack of goals has been a major concern, with the team failing to score in five of those eight fixtures.

At Ewood Park, the Rovers have struggled to make their home advantage count, winning just one of their last nine league games (4 draws, 4 defeats). Defensive lapses have also been costly — they have conceded at least one goal in 20 of their last 21 home matches, including 19 of their last 20 in the Championship. Their season averages of 0.9 goals scored and 1.3 conceded per game underline the balance of their difficulties at both ends of the pitch.

• Last 5 matches: 0 wins, 2 draws, 3 defeats


• Average goals scored: 0.4 per match


• Average goals conceded: 1.6 per match


• Under 0.5 goals in 3 of their last 10 matches

With their attack misfiring and defensive consistency lacking, Blackburn’s main objective will be to grind out a result that could reignite their survival hopes.

Sheffield Wednesday’s Recent Form and Key Stats

Sheffield Wednesday remain rooted to the bottom of the Championship table with just 11 points after 29 matches (1 win, 8 draws, 20 defeats), having been docked 18 points earlier in the season. Their most recent game ended in a 0-1 home defeat to Wrexham on January 31, marking their sixth consecutive league loss. The Owls have now gone 24 matches without a win in all competitions, including 23 in the Championship.

Scoring has been their biggest issue — they have failed to find the net in four of their last seven away games and average only 0.6 goals per match this season. Defensively, they have conceded at least one goal in 37 of their last 40 matches, with an average of two goals conceded per game. Their away form offers little encouragement, with six defeats and one draw in their last seven league trips.

• Last 5 matches: 0 wins, 0 draws, 5 defeats


• Average goals scored: 0.0 per match


• Average goals conceded: 1.6 per match


• Haven’t won in their last 24 matches

With morale low and confidence fading, Sheffield Wednesday will need a disciplined defensive display to avoid another setback on the road.

Blackburn Rovers vs Sheffield Wednesday Analysis and Prediction

Both teams come into this fixture struggling for form and goals, which suggests a cautious and scrappy contest. The reverse fixture between these sides ended in a 0-0 draw in December, and given their current attacking inefficiency, another low-scoring outcome seems likely. Blackburn’s home record and Sheffield Wednesday’s away struggles point towards a tight affair where a single goal could decide the result.

Historically, the head-to-head record slightly favors the visitors, with Blackburn winning once, drawing twice, and losing twice in their last five meetings. However, with both sides averaging less than one goal per game this season, the probability of a high-scoring match remains slim.

According to the latest data, the win probabilities stand at 43% for a Blackburn Rovers win, 28% for a draw, and 30% for a Sheffield Wednesday win. The balance of these numbers reinforces the expectation of a close and low-scoring encounter.
