Prediction: 2-1
Blackburn Rovers
Legendary Hillsborough stadium will host Tuesday’s football game between Sheffield Wednesday and Blackburn Rovers. The Owls aim to put an end to their three-game winless run in the Championship, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Riversiders. Since they are seven points behind the safe zone, this has to go down as a must-win game for the hosts. Keep in mind, though, that all Dawson, Dunkley, Iorfa, Luongo, and Odubajo are out of contention with injuries.
Blackburn Rovers, on the other hand, are stuck in the middle of the standings, and seeing that they head into the match with the lack of motivation, we are tempted to put our money on the relegation-threatened hosts. It has to be noted that Ayala, Dack, Rankin-Costello, and Wharton are unlikely to feature for the visitors as they have been struggling with injuries.
