• Venue: Ewood Park (Blackburn)

Blackburn are also close to securing playing in the Championship for the next season, as they are five points above the relegation zone with three games to go. Blackburn were in a poor run of ten games without a win. Lately, they found a better form as they won two of the previous four. Last weekend, Blackburn won 1-0 on the road against Leeds. Guests had only 25% ball possession and three shots on the goal, but they found the net and picked up a win that could mean saving from relegation. 

Currently, Sheffield Wednesday are in the relegation zone, but with only one point fewer than safety. Every game until the end of the season is like a final for them. Danny Rohl's team is in solid form, having lost only one of the last five matches. In the previous game, Sheffield Wednesday played 1-1 at home against Stoke. The home side probably deserved more from that game as they had an xG of 1.22, while guests had 0.49. 

Blackburn vs Sheffield Wednesday pick: Under 2.5 goals

Blackburn scored only one goal in the last three matches, while four of the previous five Sheffield Wednesday matches went under 2.5 goals. For both teams, losing the game on Saturday could mean one step closer to relegation, so both sides could have a careful approach so under 2.5 goals should be the best bet for this tie.
