After narrowly missing out on a spot in the Championship playoffs last season, losing 4-3 to Millwall, their opponents on Tuesday, Millwall entered the new season with the goal of improving and securing a top-six finish. However, they had a difficult start, only accumulating seven points from their first five matches before the international break in early September. Upon their return, they struggled for consistency, earning only four more points in the next four games. They experienced a 3-0 victory against Rotherham United but suffered defeats against Leeds United and Swansea City by the same scoreline. Nevertheless, they found success in early October, winning 2-0 against Plymouth Argyle and drawing 2-2 with Hull City. With 15 points from 11 matches, the club made the decision to part ways with manager Gary Rowett after his four-year tenure. In their most recent game, under caretaker manager Adam Barrett, Millwall secured a 1-1 draw against Preston North End. Now, they will aim to return to winning ways at home and improve their current position of 14th place, with only one point separating them from ninth place.
Millwall Predicted Lineup
Bialkowski; Harding, Cooper, Wallace; Norton-Cuffy, Saville, De Norre, Bryan; Flemming, Bradshaw, Longman

Blackburn Rovers will face a tough challenge on Tuesday as they aim to climb into the top half of the table. After a disappointing start to the season, the team managed by Jon Dahl Tomasson is determined to improve upon last year's performance and push for promotion. However, their path has not been easy as they only collected seven points from their first five games. Despite a brief victory after the international break, Blackburn suffered four consecutive defeats, dropping down in the rankings and conceding 12 goals. Fortunately, the team seems to have recovered from their slump, showcasing a strong performance and securing a 4-0 win against Queens Park Rangers. They followed up this victory with another three points against Cardiff City, positioning them at 15th place on the table. With their recent success, Blackburn aims to continue their winning streak as they travel to the capital on Tuesday.
