Recent respective form guides

Wolverhampton Wanderers's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While Wolves have scored 6, a worringly large 16 have been leaked at the other end.

Blackburn Rovers's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Rovers have hit 7 goals, 16 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Wolverhampton Wanderers are stuck down in the relegation zone of Barclays Premier League with a return of just 22 points from their 27 games thus far.

Blackburn Rovers are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 22 points from 27 matches.
