The games this weekend don't come much bigger than this one, a huge clash at the bottom of the Championship table on Sunday as Blackburn Rovers take on Sheffield Wednesday. Blackburn know a win here would as good as keep them in the league, while if Sheffield Wednesday win, it could be the lifeline they need.
Blackburn Form GuideSince appointing John Eustace as manager, Blackburn have definitely ticked the box of being harder to beat. All those points, as they've drawn quite a lot of their games, are beginning to add up, and they've created a nice cushion. As we head into the weekend, they have 49 points, five above Sheffield Wednesday and Huddersfield, the two sides in the relegation zone.
Blackburn come here on the back of a win last weekend, and they've won two of their last four games, so form is good. Last weekend they won 1-0 away at Leeds, a completely unexpected but huge three points. Their other recent win was a 5-1 away success at Sunderland.
Sheffield Wednesday Form GuideSheffield Wednesday are playing well. But they remain in the relegation zone, and that's more of a show of just how bad they were at the start of the season. Their improvement has been good but it may still not be enough, though make no mistake, this team are trying hard to get out of danger, and are just one point off Birmingham as we begin the weekend.
It's just one loss from their last five, but also only one win, as they have drawn three games. They come here on the back of a draw last weekend, a 1-1 tie at home to Stoke and being at home, that will have been one they targeted to win. A draw at home to Norwich and a great away win at QPR came before that, so Wednesday are in form.
Match PredictionA massive game at the bottom of the Championship table, Blackburn would be safe with a win, and I think they will get one. Sheffield Wednesday are in form, know the size of this game, but I am going to take Blackburn to edge it.
