Blackburn Rovers vs Wrexham Prediction & Preview - Championship

·3 min read·By

Blackburn Rovers vs Wrexham prediction, form and team news for the Championship meeting at Ewood Park on Saturday 24 October 2026, 15:00 BST.

Blackburn Rovers and Wrexham meet in the Championship at Ewood Park on Saturday 24 October 2026, kick-off 15:00 BST. Tony Mowbray's side have 10 points from their last six league games, Phil Parkinson's Wrexham have 8, and both lost to West Bromwich Albion in October.

Blackburn Rovers form and recent results

Blackburn Rovers have won three, drawn one and lost two of their last six Championship games, scoring 11 and conceding 9. The attack is working. They have scored two or more in four of those six and have not failed to score in any of them.

The back line is the problem. Three of the six brought two or more goals conceded, and there has been one clean sheet.

Their most recent outing was a 2-3 defeat away to West Bromwich Albion on 17 October, 7 days before this match. Before that came two wins on the road and at home: 1-0 at Bristol City on 13 October and 2-1 against Cardiff City on 10 October. At Ewood Park they have won two of three.

Wrexham form and recent results

Wrexham arrive in Lancashire with two wins, two draws and two defeats from their last six Championship fixtures, 8 points, 9 goals scored and 12 conceded. They have kept no clean sheets in those six, and they have managed two or more goals in only two of them.

Those two were the good days. A 4-1 win at home to Preston North End on 17 October was the heaviest scoring performance of their run, and a 2-1 home win over Southampton on 19 September the other.

The travelling record is the concern. Wrexham have won none of their last two away games, drawing 1-1 at Derby County on 10 October and losing 0-6 at West Ham United on 11 September. They also lost 1-2 at home to West Bromwich Albion on 13 October, the same opponent who beat Blackburn four days later.

Team news

Blackburn Rovers forward Ryoya Morishita was sent for a scan on an ankle injury picked up in the first half of the West Bromwich Albion defeat, with Mowbray saying "I think he twisted it rather than a kick, so that potentially could be damage" and that the player was seen hobbling off, according to Hayters. Wrexham have a longer list: Max Cleworth (hamstring), Nathan Broadhead (thigh), Ben Sheaf (groin) and Josh Windass (ankle) are all fitness questions, with George Thomason, Sebastian Revan and Liberato Cacace also out, while Callum Doyle and Matty James have come back into the side; Parkinson said Sheaf's problem was "not serious" and that the damage to Windass was "less serious than first feared", per Yahoo Sports.

How Blackburn Rovers vs Wrexham sets up

Goals are the one thing both of these sides reliably produce. Both teams have scored in five of Blackburn's last six and in five of Wrexham's, and five of Blackburn's six games have featured three or more goals in total, against four of six for Wrexham.

That makes a low-scoring afternoon the least likely version of this. Blackburn create enough to score against anyone in this division and defend badly enough to be caught; Wrexham have not shut anybody out.

Blackburn Rovers vs Wrexham prediction

Our prediction for Blackburn Rovers v Wrexham in the Championship at Ewood Park on Saturday 24 October 2026 is a home win, with Blackburn Rovers edging a game that produces goals at both ends. Blackburn have won two of their three home games in this run and have scored in all six. Wrexham have no away win in their last two and have gone six league games without a clean sheet, which is a hard combination to take anything from at a ground where the hosts keep finding the net.

Our prediction: Blackburn Rovers 2-1 Wrexham
