Match Preview

Blackburn Rovers are set to take on Sheffield Wednesday in a Championship clash at Ewood Park on February 3, 2026.

Blackburn Rovers have lost 8 out of 15 home matches this season, while Sheffield Wednesday has suffered 8 defeats in 13 away matches.

In their head-to-head history, Blackburn Rovers have lost 3 out of the last 6 matches against Sheffield Wednesday across all leagues.

The prediction for this match is Blackburn Rovers to win 2-0.

Blackburn turned in an impressive performance against Ipswich on Tuesday night and were heading for all three points until Sindre Egeli equalised deep into stoppage time. Rovers are now winless in three, but have turned in strong displays in back-to-back draws heading into gameweek 19.

Charlie McNeill gave Sheffield Wednesday hope that a second league win of the season was on the cards last weekend, but the Owls were beaten 3-2 by Preston in a gut-wrenching comeback defeat. The Yorkshire side, who have now suffered a second points deduction of the season, have lost four straight ahead of their trip to Ewood Park.
