Blackburn Rovers, Recent FormConfidence will be high amongst the Blackburn Rovers players after their welcome 1-0 away win last time out against Leeds United. During that encounter they had 25% possession and had 3 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 5 of their 19 shots on goal.
John Eustace will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 6 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 7 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. Although failing to score in 4 of their last 6 games, they may have turned a corner having won their last 1, but they have conceded a goal in 19 of their 21 home games this season.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 home games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games.
On an individual basis, Sammie Szmodics will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 24 goals in Blackburn Rovers' 43 league games this season.
Sheffield Wednesday, Recent FormSheffield Wednesday will have been quite satisfied taking a point from their last match against Stoke City, which ran out a 1-1 draw. Their share of possession in that meeting was 55%, while racking up 12 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. Stoke City had 8 shots on goal with 2 on target.
Manager Danny Röhl will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 12 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 6 goals they managed at the other end. They have kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 away games, but this season they have failed to score in 12 of 21 games on the raod.
It's been mixed fortunes for Wednesday away from home recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games on the road.
Anthony Musaba has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Blackburn Rovers.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Blackburn Rovers, losing 3-1 to Sheffield Wednesday.
The Blackburn defence has struggled in front of its own fans when The Owls have come to town, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 6 meetings at Ewood Park.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams, Wednesday has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Blackburn in 3 games.
Josh Windass has scored in each of Wednesday's last 0 league games against Blackburn.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Blackburn manager John Eustace with John Fleck (Calf), Ryan Hedges (Hamstring) and Arnór Sigurðsson (Ankle) all unavailable for selection, and Harry Leonard (Back) out for the rest of the season.
Danny Röhl has a number of injury concerns in his Wednesday squad to contend with: Juan Delgado (Hip), Mohamed Diaby (Leg), Ian Poveda (Hamstring), Ike Ugbo (Leg) and Josh Windass (Muscle)
