Match Preview
John Eustace has overseen a change in Blackburn’s fortunes this season, and they remain on course to achieve a playoff finish in the Championship. However, questions will remain surrounding their recent form, as Rovers come into the weekend after losing three of their last four. Their most recent defeat was suffered at QPR on Tuesday.
Vito Pereira would have breathed a sigh of relief after his Wolves side moved out of the relegation places following a 2-0 win over Aston Villa last weekend. That win ended a three-game losing sequence, in which they had scored just once.

These sides will be meeting in the FA Cup for the first time since the 1960 final. On that occasion, Wolves recorded a 3-0 win. Wolves also have a very solid record at Ewood Park, winning on four of their last five visits since a 3-0 defeat in 2010.
Blackburn boasts a reliable record in this stage of the competition, progressing from each of their last six fourth round ties in the competition. They have reached at least the fifth round in each of the last two seasons.
Wolves have also had recent success in the FA Cup, reaching the fifth round of the competition last season. However, they haven’t achieved runs to that stage of the tournament in successive seasons since 1994-95.
Blackburn vs. Wolves Picks
This certainly feels like a game where the Premier League side could be the outside chance. Blackburn have been consistent throughout the season, and their record at this stage of the FA Cup could make them the value play.
