Sheffield Wednesday, Recent FormSheffield Wednesday will be reasonably happy to come away from their match against Leicester City with a 1-1 draw and a valuable point. During that encounter they had 32% possession and had 14 attempts on goal with 7 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 12 shots on goal.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 4 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 11 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, and this season they have failed to score in 11 of their 18 games.
Results have been poor for Wednesday recently, with 4 losses and only 1 win from their last 6 league games their current form is not going to help them move up the table. It has been a particularly poor run of form in the league, having racked up 13 defeats in 18 games.
Blackburn Rovers, Recent FormBlackburn Rovers will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 4-2 winners in their home fixture against Birmingham City. They achieved 60% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Birmingham City's tally of 26 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
Their boss Jon Dahl Tomasson has every reason to be happy with his side's attacking prowess of late, which has seen them net 13 goals in their last 6 matches; however, they may have some work to do in defence with 7 goals conceded across those matches. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
They've had a good run of form away from home recently, with 4 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 4 games.
Having scored 6 goals in his last 6 league games for Blackburn Rovers, Sammie Szmodics will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
It was not a positive ending for Blackburn Rovers last time they met Sheffield Wednesday in the league, with the game ending in a 1-0 defeat.
The Owls have struggled to keep Blackburn at bay when these two teams have met at Hillsborough Stadium, during the last 3 times they have hosted Blackburn in the league, they have conceded a total of 7 goals. Playing at home, Wednesday have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Blackburn.
With only Mohamed Diaby (Leg) and Josh Windass (Muscle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Danny Röhl will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Jon Dahl Tomasson has a number of injury concerns in his Blackburn squad to contend with: Sam Gallagher (Tendon), Ryan Hedges (Hamstring), Dominic Hyam (Ankle), Aynsley Pears (Foot), Joe Rankin-Costello (Hamstring) and Scott Wharton (Head)
