- Blackburn have lost four of their last five matches
- There have been over 2.5 goals in Wolves' last 12 away matches
- Recommended bet: Wolves to win and over 2.5 goals
Despite losing four of their last five Championship clashes, Blackburn remain in the play-off places, but they may struggle to bounce back to form in this FA Cup fourth-round tie with Premier League Wolves on Sunday.
In fact, Rovers have won only two of their last 11 league games and they may have a bigger focus on Wednesday's league trip to top-six rivals West Brom, who are only one place below them in the Championship standings.
Wolves, only two points clear of the Premier League relegation zone, also have other priorities but they have no midweek assignment and their added quality should make all the difference.
The visitors' performances have improved since the appointment of Vitor Pereira and last weekend's 2-0 win at home to Aston Villa should have instilled them with plenty of confidence.
Team news
Blackburn remain without the services of Hayden Carter, Yuki Ohashi, Harry Pickering, Arnor Sigurdsson, Sondre Tronstad and Scott Wharton, while Birmingham loanee Dion Sanderson is ineligible.
Wolves have Boubacar Traore, Yerson Mosquera, Sasa Kalajdzic, Enso Gonzalez, Leon Chiwome and Jorgen Strand Larsen ruled out through injury, while Mario Lemina has recently departed for Galatasaray.
The stats
Blackburn have lost four of their last five matches and they have been beaten to nil in five of their last 10 home outings.
Wolves have won four of their last five FA Cup ties but their last three meetings with Blackburn have ended in draws.
There have been over 2.5 goals in Wolves' last 12 away matches.
Both teams have scored in only five of Blackburn's last 17 matches.
There has been only one draw in Wolves' last 15 fixtures.
Prediction
Wolves have endured a tough campaign in the Premier League but they won at Blackburn's Championship rivals Bristol City in the third round and saw off Aston Villa 2-0 last weekend to ease their relegation fears.
Pereira may as well give the FA Cup his maximum attention and Wolves have had a much lighter recent schedule than Blackburn, who were beaten 2-1 at QPR on Tuesday and also have a midweek trip to West Brom on the horizon.
Rovers have lost four of their last five matches and securing a place in the Championship play-offs will be the priority, so they look vulnerable against a Wolves side that may be far more capable than their precarious Premier League position suggests.
Not only did Wolves beat Bristol City in the last round but they also outclassed Championship highflyers Burnley in a 2-0 win in the EFL Cup earlier in the season, hinting at a potential gulf in class between these sides.
