Millwall vs Blackburn Rovers Prediction: Blackburn Rovers have failed to win any of their last nine games

Millwall is set to host Blackburn Rovers on Monday at The Den. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes? 

Millwall form

Despite winning just two games in their last eight matches, Millwall has the fate of their own hands with a two-point lead over their rivals. Their last victory was against Blackpool, winning 3-2 while repelling comebacks from the home team to take a 75th-minute penalty. A win will set up a semi-final clash with Luton Town or Middlesbrough. However, a draw will give either Sunderland or West Bromwich Albion the chance to overtake them. Since the goal difference is small, a win is necessary for Gary Rowett's team to advance to the playoffs, and a loss will give a chance to their opponents.

Millwall Predicted Lineup

Steffen; Smith, McNair, Lenihan, Bola; Barlaser, Hackney; Jones, Akpom, McGree; Archer

Blackburn Rovers Form

If Blackburn secures a win in London, they will still need Sunderland and West Brom to not win their respective matches against Swansea City and Preston North End. However, Jon Dahl Tomasson's priority is for his team to concentrate on their own match and hope for the best, which may be beneficial for them as they have had a poor run of form lately.

Rovers have drawn five of their last eight games and have failed to win any of them. Nonetheless, they managed to salvage a draw in their previous game against Luton Town, which has given them hope for their trip to London.

Blackburn has been struggling with scoring goals lately, but they have not conceded more than once in any of their last five games. This statistic is worth noting ahead of such an important match.

Blackburn Rovers possible lineup

Wilson; McNally, McFadzean, Doyle; Norton-Cuffy, Eccles, Kelly, Hamer, Bidwell; Gyokeres, Godden

Millwall vs Blackburn Rovers Expert Tips

Millwall ended their run of two consecutive defeats in their last game. However, they have only managed to win one of their last four home matches and may face difficulties in this fixture. On the other hand, Blackburn Rovers have failed to win any of their last nine games across all competitions. Additionally, they have only won one away match in the league this season, which may lead them to another defeat. Expect over 2.5 goals in the game.
