Blackburn vs Wrexham Match Preview and Prediction
Blackburn vs Wrexham: On Monday night at Ewood Park, Blackburn and Wrexham will wrap up the opening legs of the FA Cup fourth round. After a fortunate draw, the Riversiders will be hoping to get over their recent league setbacks and continue their cup adventure.
At this point in the competition, Wrexham is among the easiest draws for any club. The last several weeks have seen Blackburn’s performance truly falter. In the last ten championship games, they have only triumphed once.
Their terrible run of form caused them to fall to 17th place in the standings. In the previous seven league games, Jon Dahl Tomasson’s team only managed to score two points.
The Danish manager’s biggest issue lately has been a lack of defensive attention to detail. Blackburn has conceded 53 goals in 28 games, giving them the worst defensive record in the whole championship.
In nine out of the previous eleven league games, they gave up two goals or more. They even gave up twice in the FA Cup’s previous round, although it was in a 5-2 victory over Cambridge, a lower division team.
As of right now, Wrexham is sitting pretty in League Two. The Welsh team’s hopes of automatic promotion were severely damaged last weekend when they lost 0-1 on the road to Newport County, who are in the bottom half of the league.
Nevertheless, Wrexham has the third-best attacking record in League Two, and on Monday at Ewood Park, they will undoubtedly have opportunities to score against the vulnerable Blackburn defense.
Blackburn vs Wrexham: Betting Analysis
Blackburn thrashed Cambridge United 5-2 in the FA Cup’s previous round. The Riversiders will now face Wrexham, a team in League Two, in the competition’s fifth-round matchup.
With 16 goals this season, Samuel Szmodics leads the championship in scoring. This will be Blackburn and Wrexham’s first competitive encounter. In 2013, the two teams played a preseason friendly. The result was a 1-1 draw.
Who will win the match between Blackburn and Wrexham?
The last few months have seen Blackburn struggle mightily to maintain silence at the back. They did, however, demonstrate their strength against a lower-division competitor when they thrashed Cambridge 5-2 at Ewood Park in the FA Cup’s previous round.
Though it’s unlikely that Wrexham will score as many goals as they have against Blackburn Rovers, we still think they should be favorites to win. We predict that this will be a very close game, with Blackburn Rovers coming out on top 2-1. We anticipate that it will be quite even.
