Blackburn Rovers will host Sheffield Wednesday at Ewood Park on Tuesday in another round of the 2024-25 EFL Championship campaign. The hosts will be desperate to get back to winning ways to keep their chances of playoff qualification alive.
The Riversiders continued their abysmal form last time out with their 2-0 defeat to Middlesbrough, marking their fifth consecutive loss. The hosts, who now sit in 12th place, had a commendable first half of the season but have struggled in recent months, losing 10 of their last 14 league outings and are eight points behind the promotion playoff spots with just six games to go.
Sheffield Wednesday are tied on points with their host, having won just four of their last 15 league games. The visitors failed to capitalize on their chances and were punished by a 94th-minute winner in their 1-0 loss to Hull City on Saturday and will be keen to end their three-match winless run when they head to Northwestern England this week.
