The final match of the 1/16 FA Cup final will take place in Blackburn on the pitch of the Championships representative. The opponent of Rovers will be a popularised from the football point of view of the Second League. One of the owners of Wrexham is actor Ryan Reynolds. The Welsh side have underperformed in the English League Cup this season, beating Wigan Athletic at the 1/64 final stage, but falling out in the next round. Blackburn in this tournament reached the 1/8 finals, where they were eliminated by the efforts of the future finalist - Chelsea. In the FA Cup Rovers have passed so far only one opponent, with a score of 5:2 defeated Cambridge United. Wrexham, for their part, have been playing in the FA Cup since the first round. In the 1/128 final, the Red Dragons beat Mansfield Town away, then defeated Yeovil 3-0 at home. Finally, at the last stage Wrexham defeated Shrewsbury Town away, scoring the only goal in the 72nd minute. Bookmakers have identified the home team as favourites for the upcoming encounter, offering odds of 1.69 on their victory.

Blackburn in 2023 was one of the most uncompromising Championship clubs. In January, something broke in the Rovers' mechanism, which led to two draws in three matches of the team. At the same time, the players and fans of the club should be really worried about other statistics. In December and January, Rovers played particularly badly. In the last month and a half, the above-mentioned victory over Cambridge United was the only one. In the other seven games, Blackburn lost five times and drew twice. What can be stated for sure is Rovers' problems in defence and desire to achieve results at the expense of attacking actions. This often leads to high-scoring matches.

Wrexham are currently in second place in League Two. The team is two points behind the leader and plays in an attacking style. The average Welsh performance is exactly two goals per match. And in January Wrexham only one of the four matches ended with a higher total. The visitors are likely to realise their attacking potential at Blackburn, and the hosts are unlikely to concede to them.
