Prediction: 1-0
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Saturday’s football match at Ewood Park pits together Blackburn Rovers and Wolverhampton. The Riversiders aim to move away from the relegation zone and the situation at Molineux Stadium is pretty much the same. The Wolves sit in 18th place in the Championship standings ahead of the trip to Lancashire and they are just four points clear of the relegation zone. Coach Walter Zenga doesn’t seem to be the right man for the job and he is certainly under big pressure ahead of the Blackburn Rovers game. It is well known that Wolverhampton struggle on the travels and, taking everything into account, we predict that Blackburn Rovers will record their third home win of the season. The Riversiders outplayed Nottingham Forest (2-1) in their last home fixture in the Championship, with Sam Gallagher scoring a brace for the Ewood Park outfit. The 21-year-old attacker has netted five goals this season and he will be the man to watch in the home team.
