Blackburn Rovers
Saturday’s football game at Hillsborough pits together Sheffield Wednesday and Blackburn Rovers, the two teams with entirely different ambitions for the upcoming season. The Owls are desperate to return to winning ways as they are twelve points behind the safe zone, but they face a tough challenge in the round 19 clash. Experienced midfielder Jeff Hendrick is pushing for a start after scoring a late equalizer against Leicester City, while Mohamed Diaby remains in the recovery room.
The Riversiders, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Stoke City and Birmingham City. As Blackburn Rovers managed to win each of their last four away games in the Championship, we predict that they are going to pick up all three points from Saturday’s encounter. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to “Steel City”.
