Our prediction for this Championship match:
Blackburn Rovers
Match Time & Date:
8 April 2025
19:45
Prediction: 1-1
Sheffield Wednesday
Ewood Park will host Tuesday’s Championship game between Blackburn Rovers and Sheffield Wednesday. The Riversiders aim to put an end to their five-game losing run, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Forward Yuki Ohashi is pushing for a start, while all Wharton, Weimann, Leonard, Kargbo, Dennis, Carter, and Brittain remain in the treatment room.
The Owls, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their three-game winless run. As both Sheffield Wednesday and Blackburn Rovers will go for a win in the midweek clash, we are tempted to place our bets on both teams to score. Both Di’Shon Bernard and Max Lowe are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team. In their last meeting at Ewood Park, Sheffield Wednesday defeated Blackburn Rovers 3-1, which goes in favour of our earlier betting prediction.
