Blackburn vs Wolverhampton prediction 09.02.2025 | FA Cup

• Competition: FA Cup
• Date: Sunday, 9th February 2025
• Kickoff: 12:30 UK / 13:30 CET
• Venue: Ewood Park (Blackburn)

Blackburn fans hope that the 2024/25 season could be the one when the team will return to the Premier League. However, after a mostly brilliant few months of the season, Blackburn's form started to slow down late in the last December games. The team from Ewood Park is still in the promotion playoff zone, but Blackburn could lose the desired spot already next weekend. John Eustace's team lost four of the last five matches. In the previous game, they lost 2-1 on the road against QPR. Splitting points could be the fairest outcome, but the home side's much better efficiency decided a winner. 

Wolverhampton are in danger of losing the Premier League status. After 24 league rounds, they are only two points above the drop zone, and it seems that Wolverhampton will be part of the relegation dogfight in the upcoming few months. Vitor Pereira's team struggled lately, with three defeats in a row until the previous weekend, when Wolverhampton won 2-0 at home against Aston Villa. Although the guests had 68% ball possession on their side, the home created much better goal-scoring chances and secured a valuable victory. 

Blackburn vs Wolverhampton pick: Under 2.5 goals

Both sides have problems with scoring goals. Blackburn scored four goals in the last five matches, while Wolverhampton scored three goals in the previous four games. We shouldn't see more than two goals on Sunday afternoon at Ewood Park.
