Rejuvenated Sheffield Wednesday could nick points at Blackburn
Blackburn Rovers vs Sheffield Wednesday - 02/11/2019
2298
Blackburn Rovers were dealt a third defeat in four matches last Saturday when Rovers slumped to a 3-2 defeat away from home at high-flying Preston North End, leaving Tony Mowbray’s side in a disappointing 17th place on the Championship ladder.
Blackburn have now had to endure a 6-match sequence without a win in the second tier, and this poor run of results include defeats to Luton Town, QPR, Birmingham City and the aforementioned, Preston North End result.
Despite returning to home turf at their Ewood Park ground for this upcoming clash against Sheffield Wednesday, Blackburn’s confidence may well be fragile as the hosts have managed to register just 1 win out of their last 5 matches in their own backyard.
That win came in the shape of a 2-0 win against Millwall who occupy 15th place in the Championship and still remain without an away win so far this season, so this upcoming clash against Sheffield Wednesday could pose further problems for Mowbray & co this Saturday.
Sheffield Wednesday have made the most of 3 home games out of their last 4 overall in the Championship in recent weeks as The Owls have secured wins against Wigan Athletic 1-0 and Stoke City 1-0 as well as holding 3rd placed Leeds United to a 0-0 draw as Garry Monk’s side sit in the early play-off pack.

Overall results in the Championship in recent times have produced a solid sequence of returns for Sheffield Wednesday as they’ve lost just 1 of their last 8 matches in the second tier, which was a 1-0 loss at Hull City.
However, results away from home continue to produce a mixed return as Wednesday have gained wins on the road at Huddersfield Town and Middlesbrough in recent weeks but have also fallen foul of defeats at Preston North End and Hull City as well.
The bigger picture though will give Sheffield Wednesday confidence that they can get a result against Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park as The Owls have lost just 4 of their last 16 away matches in the Championship.
In addition, Sheffield Wednesday have won 4 of the previous 5 meetings against Blackburn Rovers, so the visitors may well fancy their chances of grabbing all three points at Ewood Park on Saturday.
