Blackburn v Wolves: Prediction, tips and bet builder as visitors look to show Premier League quality

Blackburn’s play-off push in the Championship has hit a road block with Rovers losing four of their last five games – including a 2-1 defeat to QPR last time out.

The FA Cup will be a welcome distraction for John Eustace and his men as they test themselves against Premier League opposition.

Wolves have got league survival firmly on their mind and with a trip to Liverpool on the horizon, you’d think Vitor Pereira will make changes.

There’s certainly a lot to consider ahead of this fourth-round FA Cup clash. Here, we take a closer look at the match and pick out some of the best bets along the way.

Good luck and please gamble responsibly.

Wolves to win

Premier League opposition are always favourites when it comes to taking on lower league opposition. That is especially true when the opponents in question are on a dreadful run of results.

Wolves aren’t exactly flying either, losing three of their last four. Then again, the level of opposition they faced was from the top echelon of English football. Newcastle, Chelsea and Arsenal aren’t exactly a cakewalk.

Pereira’s men did return to winning ways in a big way as they beat Aston Villa 2-0 last week.

Bearing all that in mind, we’re sticking with the Premier League side to secure their spot in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

 

Both teams to score

For all of Blackburn’s problems, scoring goals is not a major one. Rovers have found the back of the net in their last three matches, including two against Preston in their last home game.

Wolves are also far from being goal-shy. Since Pereira’s arrival, Wolves have put three past Leicester, two past United, two past Spurs and, most recently, two past Villa.

 

One goal winning margin

With Wolves expected to make changes, a complete blowout is not on the cards. Blackburn are out of form, but with Rovers on familiar home territory, they’ll turn this into a close game.

 

Under 4.5 cards

When it comes to discipline, both teams have been relatively good. Wolves and Blackburn haven’t picked up many bookings over recent games and we’re backing that to continue.
