Blackburn Rovers host Sheffield Wednesday in a highly-anticipated Championship clash as both sides battle poor form. However, we predict a 2-0 home win as the Seasiders will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. The hosts are struggling to climb out of the relegation zone, having earned just 0.8 points per game overall. Injuries to key players Hedges, Kargbo, Litherland, Tavares, and Wharton further weaken Blackburn’s squad. Their home form is slightly better, averaging 2.2 goals per game, but they have failed to score in 40% of home fixtures, while conceding 1.2 goals per game.
Sheffield Wednesday are in crisis, sitting at the bottom of the table with a -7 points on their account and no wins in their last five matches. The Owls average just 0.3 goals per game, with 80% of matches failing to see them score, and concede nearly 2 goals per game. H2H records are fairly even, but Blackburn hold a slight advantage with 7 wins in the last 22 meetings.
Considering Blackburn's light H2H edge and home advantage, our prediction points toward Home Win, alongside Over 1.5 goals and Blackburn to Win to Nil.
This Championship match will be played on Tuesday 3 February 2026 at 19:45.
