The Owls are unbeaten in their last four matches, with two wins and two draws, demonstrating resilience after a narrow 1-0 loss to local rivals Sheffield United. Their defensive record is particularly noteworthy, having conceded only four goals in their last six games, with two clean sheets. The team's recent matches have been predominantly low-scoring affairs, with 83% of their last six games seeing under 2.5 goals. Sheffield Wednesday's attacking output has been steady, if not spectacular, averaging 1.33 goals per game over this period. Their most recent victory, a 2-1 away win against Derby County, showcases their ability to grind out results on the road.

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers have shown remarkable form in their recent fixtures, currently riding an impressive four-match winning streak in the Championship. This run has propelled them to 8th position in the league table with 28 points from 17 games. Their defensive solidity has been particularly noteworthy, with three clean sheets in their last four matches and only conceding 0.83 goals per game over their last six outings. The team's ability to grind out narrow victories is evident, with three 1-0 wins in their last four games. However, goals have been somewhat scarce, with Blackburn scoring just six times in their last six matches. The 3-1 away victory against Cardiff City stands out as their highest-scoring game in this period. Interestingly, 83% of their recent matches have seen under 2.5 goals, indicating a trend towards tighter, low-scoring affairs.

Recent home/away form

Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday have had a mixed run of form at home in their recent matches, with one win, three draws, and two losses in their last six games at Hillsborough. The Owls have struggled to find consistency, failing to secure back-to-back victories during this period. Defensively, they've managed two clean sheets, but their 6-2 defeat to Watford stands out as a particularly high-scoring affair and a significant outlier in their recent defensive record. Wednesday have been involved in predominantly low-scoring matches, with five out of six games seeing fewer than 2.5 goals. Their goal-scoring output has been modest, averaging just one goal per game, while they've conceded at a higher rate of 1.67 goals per match. Despite their inconsistent form, the Owls have shown resilience by avoiding consecutive losses and securing draws in their two most recent home fixtures.

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers have shown remarkable improvement in their recent away form, with a current run of three consecutive victories on the road. This streak is particularly impressive considering it followed a run of three straight away defeats. The team's resilience is evident in their ability to bounce back from conceding 6 goals in those three losses to keeping clean sheets in two of their last three away matches. Their most convincing away performance came against Cardiff City, where they scored 3 goals, their highest tally in this run of fixtures. Despite a negative goal difference over their last six away games, Rovers have managed to climb to 8th position in the league, suggesting their away form has been crucial to their overall standing. The team's ability to grind out 1-0 wins in their last two away fixtures demonstrates a newfound defensive solidity that could prove vital as they push for promotion contention.
