Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-2
Wolves
Blackburn Rovers will look to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Queens Park Rangers when they take on Wolverhampton in the FA Cup last 32. The Riversiders do not seem to be at their sharpest, losing four of their last five league matches and, as a result, they are seen as underdogs in Sunday’s clash. As Blackburn’s injury list includes the likes of Carter, Ohashi, Pickering, Sigurdsson, Tronstad, and Wharton, home win should not be considered.
The Wolves, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Aston Villa and they managed to get one. Wolverhampton aim to give fans yet another reason to celebrate and given Blackburn’s poor form in the Championship, we are tempted to bet on Matheus Cunha and Co. Midfielder Joe Gomes is banned for the match, while all Yerson Mosquera, Sasa Kalajdzic, and Enso Gonzalez remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Hee-Chan Hwang):
Hwang Hee-Chan is a product of Pohang Steelers football academy. The Korean attacker, who was born in Chuncheon on January 26, 1996, started his senior career at FC Liefering of Austria and he scored 13 goals in 31 appearances for the club. The 177-cm tall striker currently plays for Red Bull Salzburg and you should bear in mind that he netted 12 goals for the club in the 2016/2017 season.
Hwang Hee-Chan won his second Austrian Bundesliga title with Salzburg in the 2016/2017 season, but the Red Bulls eventually failed to make it to the Champions League group stages. The Salzburg footballer made his South Korea debut in a 2-0 win over Canada on November 11, 2016.
Hee-Chan played regularly for the Korea national football team in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers and he scored one goal in the process. The Koreans eventually booked their place at the showpiece tournament in Russia, meaning that the Salzburg attacker will have a chance to prove his worth on the big stage.
Highlighted Team (Blackburn Rovers):
Blackburn Rovers have been trying to return to the Premier League ever since they dropped to the Championship in 2012. The Riversiders compete in the English second tier and they play their home games at Ewood Park. Blackburn were founded back in 1875 and they are one of the founding members of the Football League (1888).
Burnley are considered Blackburn’s main rivals and the two teams square off against each other in the East Lancashire derby. It has to be noted that Blackburn Burnley 7-1 in their first ever meeting in the East Lancashire Derby on 3 November, 1888. The Riversiders have won three First Division (Premier League) trophies (1911/1912, 1913/1914, 1994/1995).
Blackburn Rovers have clinched six FA Cup titles as well. Speaking of the club’s European success, the Riversiders won the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 2007. The colour of Blackburn’s home kit is blue and white.
