I asked AI to predict Blackburn Rovers vs Wolves in the FA Cup - and here's the result

Wolves won 2-0 against Aston Villa last time out in the Premier League. Jean Ricner-Bellegarde and Matheus Cunha got their goals against their rivals as they secured a crucial three points in their quest for survival.

They head to Ewood Park on Sunday afternoon to take on Blackburn Rovers in the fourth round of the FA Cup. Vitor Pereira’s side won 2-1 away at Bristol City in the third round.

AI predicts Blackburn Rovers vs Wolves

Ahead of Wolves’s tie against Blackburn, we have asked AI to predict the outcome of the game. As per ChatGPT, the technology has predicted: “Considering Wolves' Premier League status and recent FA Cup form, they are favored to win this match. Statistical analyses indicate a 25.57% chance of a Wolves victory, a 23.74% chance of a draw, and a 50.69% chance of a Blackburn Rovers win. The most probable scoreline for a Wolves win is 1-2.”

It added: “While Blackburn Rovers have home advantage, Wolves' higher division status and recent form suggest they are well-positioned to advance in the FA Cup. However, the outcome will depend on the performance and tactical approach of both teams on the day.”

AI has backed Wolves to win the match and progress into the next round of the competition. However, it believes it will be close and one goal could separate the pair. Blackburn beat rivals Preston North End 2-1 in their last game on their own patch.

Wolves boss Vitor Pereira wants more of the same

Wolves have a genuine chance of getting to Wembley if they can beat Blackburn. They will only be two wins from the semi-final if they get through. They missed out last year at the quarter-finals stage after losing to Coventry City.

They will be eager to hit some form over the coming weeks as they look to rise away from the drop zone. The league remains their priority but a cup run would also be useful to help build some confidence and belief.

Speaking after their win over Aston Villa, Pereira said: “I'm very happy, very proud, because we played a tough game against a very good team. We played tactically with quality. We played as a block defending, we understood the spaces to create a chance to score, and most important, we played as a team with a true spirit, working together, suffering together in some moments, but I think we deserved the result.

“I believe that if we scored the second goal, the chances that we created in the first half, chances to score two or three times the second goal. The second goal gives you the confidence and tranquillity to play. But in the end, I'm very happy. Important game, not only for the three points, but to break these four games in a row that we lost.”
