Blackburn vs Wolves: Score Prediction
Wolves’ victory over Aston Villa last weekend was a crucial morale booster, proving they are capable of grinding out important results. With new January signings boosting the squad and momentum on their side, they should have enough quality to overcome Blackburn’s injury-hit side.
Blackburn, despite their struggles, will have the home crowd behind them, but their form suggests an upset is unlikely. Expect Wolves to edge this contest and move into the FA Cup fifth round.
Prediction: Blackburn 1-2 Wolves
