Wolves to Seal Narrow Win at Ewood Park

Blackburn have been one of the surprise packages in England’s second tier, collecting 45 points from 31 matches. Rovers have given themselves a fighting chance of securing a top-six spot.

Wolves are in a relegation scrap in the Premier League, with Wanderers hovering just above the drop zone on 19 points. Vitor Pereira has work to do at Molineux, as the Midlands club have picked up just five league wins this term.

Blackburn booked their place in the fourth round with a narrow victory over fellow Championship side Middlesbrough. Andreas Weimann scored the only goal at the Riverside Stadium.  

Wolves also got the better of second-tier opposition in the third round. Goals from Rayan Ait-Nouri and Rodrigo Gomes were enough to give Pereira’s troops a 2-1 win against Bristol City at Ashton Gate.

Recent Blackburn Rovers vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Head-to-Head Meetings

This will be the first meeting between the clubs since they clashed in the Championship during the 2016-17 season. The teams played out two draws, with the game at Ewood Park ending 1-1.

The last three meetings have finished all square, and Wolves are unbeaten in this fixture in eight (four wins, four draws). Blackburn’s previous success came in a Premier League meeting at Molineux in 2012.

Blackburn Rovers vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Betting Tips & Predictions

Wolves have had their struggles this season, but last weekend’s 2-0 home success over Midlands rivals Aston Villa was a highlight. The top-flight outfit won against Championship opponents in the previous round, and we can see Pereira’s team edging this one.

Blackburn have lost three of their last five at home, failing to score in all three. You can get 2.70 for Wolves to win to nil. Also, take a punt on the Wanderers clean sheet at 2.27.
