Prediction: 0-1
Sheffield Wednesday
After suffering back-to-back defeats to the likes of Preston and Wigan Athletic, Blackburn Rovers will be looking to return to winning ways in the Championship when they host Sheffield Wednesday at Ewood Park. The Riversiders have been struggling at the back of late, but Saturday’s football match against Sheffield Wednesday could be the turning point for them. The Owls, on the other hand, recorded a hard-fought 1-0 win over Bolton Wanderers, with the team putting an end to their six-game winless run in the English second tier. Sheffield Wednesday regained a much-needed confidence and seeing that Blackburn do not look solid at the back at the moment, away win should be considered. In each of their previous three meetings in the Championship Sheffield Wednesday emerged triumphant and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself. Experienced attacker Steven Fletcher is likely to lead the line for the visitors against the Riversiders.

Highlighted Player (Jack Rodwell):
Once an exciting midfielder talent who left his boyhood club Everton for Manchester City in 2012, Jack Rodwell has been attracting plenty of criticism over the past couple of years due to the lack of playing time and refusal to leave the Etihad, despite being on the margins with Citizens.
Rodwell joined Everton’s academy when he was eight and soared through the ranks to emerge as one of the key players for the Merseyside club during his five-year stay with the Toffees. A talked-about £15 million move to City turned into a largely disappointing two-year stint with the Citizens, before Rodwell moved to Sunderland.
Having largely struggled to replicate his flying form from his time at Everton, Rodwell signed for the Championship club Blackburn Rovers in 2018 for the remainder of the season, in a bid to get his career back on track. Rodwell represented England through all youth ranks up to the senior side, for which he only managed three caps.
Highlighted Team (Sheffield Wednesday):
Sheffield Wednesday are one of the two famous clubs from the city of Sheffield (South Yorkshire). The Owls compete in the English second tier (Championship) and they play their home matches at Hillsborough.
The venue was the scene of the Hillsborough disaster which occurred in 1989 when 96 Liverpool supporters were crushed to death in the FA Cup semi-final. It has to be noted that the World Cup (1966) and the Euro (1996) matches were played at Hillsborough.
Sheffield Wednesday have won four First Division trophies (1902/2903, 1903/1904, 1928/1929, 1929/2930) and they finished the 1960/1961 campaign in second place in the standings. The Owls have clinched three FA Cup trophies (1896, 1907, 1935), with the team winning the League Cup in 1991.
Sheffield Wednesday defeated English giants Manchester United (1-0) in the title game. Sheffield United are regarded as the Owls’ main rivals and the two teams face each other in the Steel City derby.
