Blackburn vs Wolverhampton Prediction

Blackburn Form

Blackburn are currently performing inconsistently, as they lost against Bristol City by a 2-1 score, before winning 2-1 against Preston. They were back on the losing side in a 2-1 defeat against Queens Park Rangers. Blackburn managed to win two of their past six home matches in the FA Cup. In the remaining four, they drew one and lost three, as they scored 17 and conceded 15 goals.

Wolverhampton collected one win from their last three matches, as Chelsea won by 3-1. Arsenal were too strong as well, winning 0-1, before Wolverhampton won 2-0 against Aston Villa. Wolverhampton won half their previous six away matches in the FA Cup, as well as seeing two draws and suffering one defeat. They scored eight goals whilst conceding five.

Having scored just once lately in the FA Cup, Andreas Weimann will be eager to hit the target again, and the upcoming game presents an opportunity to step up. Wolverhampton hope Matheus Cunha can inflict some damage on their upcoming opponents by adding to his tally of two FA Cup goals in his last six FA Cup games.

Blackburn claimed a modest four wins from their previous 10 home matches across all tournaments. They split the points with the visiting team in one of the games, whilst losing five. Wolverhampton won three of their last 10 games away, drew two and lost five of the games in this run.
