Blackburn Rovers vs Sheffield Wednesday Prediction and Betting Tips | December 6th 2025

Blackburn Rovers take on Sheffield Wednesday in the 19th round of games in the EFL Championship on Saturday. Both sides are languishing in the bottom half of the standings.

Valerin Ismael's Blackburn are fresh off a 1-1 home draw with Ipswich Town in midweek. Following a goalless first period, Blackburn broke the deadlock 14 minutes from time through Andri Gudjohnsen.

However, Ipswich forced a share of the spoils through Sindre Walle Egeli's equaliser in the fourth minute of stoppage time. Following a second straight stalemate, the Rovers remain 18th in the points table, with 21 points from 18 matches, winning six.

Meanwhile, Henrik Pederson's Sheffield stumbled to a 3-2 home reverse against Preston North End at the weekend. The Owls led twice, but Preston scored two unanswered goals after the break to take all three points despite being dominated in possession.

Following a league-high 12th loss, the Owls remain rock-bottom, with -10 points (following a six-point deduction added to a previous 12-point one), winning just once all season, from 18 outings.

On that note, here's a look at the head-to-head stats and key numbers, match prediction, and betting tips for the Blackburn-Sheffield Championship showdown at Ewood Park.

Blackburn Rovers vs Sheffield Wednesday prediction

Both sides have struggled this campaign, especially Sheffield, which have been mired in difficulties both on and off the field. The Owls have been in the relegation zone since the fourth matchday and are favourites to go down.

In terms of the head-to-head record, Sheffield have a marginal lead and are unbeaten in three league visits to the Rovers, winning once. But having won just once all season, the Owls have their task cut out.

The Rovers have had their struggles up front - with only two other sides (Portsmouth and Sheffield Wednesday) scoring fewer. However, considering the Owls' overall travails this season, Blackburn should take all three points.

Prediction: Blackburn Rovers 2-1 Sheffield Wednesday
