Our prediction for this Championship match:
Blackburn Rovers
Match Time & Date:
26/12/2019
10:00 AM
Prediction: 2-1
Birmingham City
High-flying Blackburn Rovers will be aiming to build on a 2-0 win over Bristol City when they take on Wigan Athletic at their Ewood Park. The Riversiders have been in a terrific form of late, with the team recording five wins in the last six league fixtures. Blackburn Rovers aim to move a little closer to the play-offs berth, and we predict that they are going to give fans yet another reason for celebration on Boxing Day.
Adam Armstrong, who came from the bench and scored in the 2-0 win over Bristol City, is likely to return to the starting line-up for the hosts. The Blues, on the other hand, are on a three-game losing run in the Championship, with the team conceding seven goals in total in those matches. Birmingham City experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to Hull City, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Blackburn Rovers’ party at Ewood Park.
