by Steve Ashfield in Championship Predictions
Blackburn Rovers will hope to avoid a sixth straight league defeat on Tuesday. They are 12th in the Championship and are home to Sheffield Wednesday who are only a place below them. Can the Owls get an away win? Here's our match prediction.
Friday night saw Blackburn's miserable run continue as they lost 2-0 at home to Middlesbrough. They are only ahead of their opponents on goal difference and both are eight points behind the final promotion play-off position with just six games to play.
Seven games have now been played by Rovers since their last victory. They have won ten home league games this season but lost seven. Their last two have been lost and three of the last four at Ewood Park have had under 2.5 goals scored in them.
Sheffield Wednesday have plenty of problems off the field at present. Another season in the Championship looms barring a winning streak in the next few weeks. The weekend saw them lose 1-0 at home to Hull, conceding a 94th minute winner.
They have gone three league games without a win but have had nine away victories in the Championship this season. Only one goal has been scored by them in their last three league matches. We go for under 2.5 goals in this match.

Our Blackburn vs Sheffield Wednesday Prediction
Both clubs need a fantastic run-in to get into the promotion play-off positions. That is looking extremely unlikely and another season in the Championship looks certain for Rovers and Wednesday.
Rovers are on a terrible run of form at present, while Wednesday also lost at the weekend. Blackburn have lost five successive league games and mostly against sides in the bottom half of the table.
The reverse fixture only saw one goal scored and our Blackburn v Sheffield Wednesday prediction is under 2.5 goals to be scored.
