THE PREDICTION

Seven points currently separate Sheffield Wednesday from Championship safety, a daunting gap which means that they simply can’t afford anything less than three points vs Blackburn. That looks a tough task however, for a side who have accumulated just one point from their last three league games. Blackburn’s 2-1 win over another relegation threatened side in Derby last Friday indicates that they are perhaps enjoying currently playing with little pressure on their shoulders, due to being sat in mid table with no prospects of relegation or promotion. For Sheffield Wednesday, the pressure is huge and they have shown little shows of being able to cope with it. Therefore, consider the visitors in this one draw no bet.
