Odds are subject to change. Blackburn – 4/1 Draw – 11/4 Wolves – 7/10 Blackburn v Wolves prediction Wolves make the trip north to Lancashire this weekend as odds on favourites to get the better of their Championship opposition, having last weekend put an end to their four match Premier League losing streak with a 2-0 win over local rivals Aston Villa. The win saw Vitor Pereira’s side climb out of the relegation zone and into 17th place, giving them a two point cushion ahead of the bottom three. The West Midlands side will be hoping that last week’s derby victory can spark an upturn in form, and will back themselves to get the better of Blackburn on Saturday having already knocked out a Championship play-off hopeful in the last round with a win at Bristol City. Wolves will be disappointed with their recent run of league form up to last weekend but all four of their successive defeats came against teams who started the weekend in the top five of the table. Blackburn also head into this weekend’s Sunday lunchtime FA Cup clash having lost four of their last five league games, but still find themselves as high as fifth in the Championship table after Tuesday night’s 2-1 defeat at QPR. John Eustace’s side’s struggle for form leaves the chasing play-off pack lying eagerly in wait, with currently on three points separating Rovers in fifth from Sheffield Wednesday in 10th, and only four points between sixth and 14th in what’s become a frantic battle for a top six finish heading into the final third of the season. Blackburn have won the FA Cup on six occasions, although the most recent of those came 97 years ago, but a win on Sunday would see them reach the fifth round draw for the third season in succession, and could be the catalyst for an upturn in form and surge towards a Premier League return. Wolves are unbeaten in their last eight matches against Blackburn but the last three meetings between the two sides have all ended in draws. On Sunday though I expect Wolves‘ Premier League quality to shine through and I imagine they’ll win the game 2-1. Blackburn v Wolves betting tips Last weekend’s West Country derby saw Wolves return to winning ways and Matheus Cunha return to scoring goals, bagging his 11th of the season in the same week he signed a new four-year contract with the club. The Brazilian has been by the club’s best player this season and should see Sunday’s game as an opportunity to thrive against a Championship defence who have lost four of their last five matches.
