Sheffield Wednesday - Blackburn Rovers betting tips and odds

Beating Blackburn Rovers will not be easy, but we believe Sheffield Wednesday are more than capable of doing so. The matchup is somewhat balanced, after all, so all three possible outcomes are still on the table.

Blackburn will need to bring their top form if they want 3 points from this matchup – and they do. Sheffield Wednesday are not easy pickings, although the visitors are widely seen as close favourites.

The Owls haven’t exactly been showing their best form lately. For instance, last round’s home draw : against Bristol City ended in a lukewarm draw. It’s far from a disaster but most of us – including the world’s best online bookmakers – expected a lot more considering they played at home.

Blackburn Rovers went into their previous match against Derby County with a slight edge in form and home-field advantage, resulting in a comfortable and somewhat predictable 2:1 home win.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and The Owls have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

The most recent result from these two teams recorded is from earlier in the season when the teams clashed. It ended in a draw, which is worse news for The Rovers because they are largely considered the stronger team.

Fortunately, none of the teams’ players has been injured or suspended recently. With their full lineups at their disposal, we’re in for an exciting match.

The 2.50 on an Away Win are obviously favourable, though it would be presumptuous to say it’s already in the bag. Still, it’s a fairly probable outcome and a good offer to take at 888Sport in terms of betting value.
