Recent form

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers are experiencing a severe downturn in form, currently enduring a five-match losing streak in the Championship. Their last point came from a 1-1 draw against Norwich on 1st March, which has been followed by a dismal run of defeats. The team's attacking prowess has been particularly concerning, with Rovers managing to score just three goals in their last six matches, averaging a mere 0.5 goals per game. Defensively, they have been equally troubled, conceding nine goals during this period and failing to keep a clean sheet in their last seven outings. This poor run of form has seen Blackburn slip to 12th in the table, with their goal difference taking a significant hit at -6 over the last six games. While there haven't been any particularly high-scoring matches, the consistency of Rovers' defeats is alarming, suggesting a urgent need for tactical reassessment to halt their slide down the table.

Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday's recent form has been inconsistent, with their last six matches yielding two wins, one draw, and three losses. The Owls have struggled to find consistency, failing to secure back-to-back victories in this period. Their goal-scoring record has been respectable, netting 8 goals in 6 matches, but they've also conceded 7, indicating some defensive vulnerabilities. Notably, Sheffield Wednesday managed two impressive away victories, both 3-0 wins against Norwich and Plymouth Argyle, showcasing their potential for dominant performances on the road. However, their home form has been disappointing, with two 1-0 losses in their last three matches at Hillsborough. The team's current 13th position in the Championship table with 52 points from 40 games suggests they are comfortably mid-table, but their recent form indicates they may struggle to climb much higher in the remaining fixtures.
