Blackburn Rovers vs Millwall Match Analysis & Prediction


05/03/2024 10:45 pm


Both desperately striving to avoid unlikely drops into League One, Blackburn Rovers will face a resurgent Millwall side at Ewood park on Tuesday night in the Championship.
Blackburn are currently in the midst of a full-blow relegation following a record of two wins in their last 17 Championship matches, extending back to the end of 2023.
New manager John Eustace is without a win in five league matches since taking charge in the middle of February, and although a number of performances – including the FA Cup exit to Newcastle United – have shown promise, the reality is that Blackburn have collected just three points from five league games.
The emerging form of Queens Park Rangers and Sheffield Wednesday in recent matches has drawn a large contingent of teams into the scrap for survival as the season approaches its business end, with Rovers sitting in 17th place but just a single point above 22nd-placed Stoke City.
Having lost seven of their last nine away league matches, Rovers will be relatively glad to be back at their Ewood Park base on Tuesday, with the team enjoying 5-2, 4-1 and 3-1 victories at their Lancashire home since the turn of the calender year, providing a cause for optimism ahead of a crunch clash.
Returning to a brilliant reception from the Millwall faithful inside The Den on Saturday, Neil Harris maintained his 100% record during his latest spell as Lions manager as they narrowly beat Watford, with a key man – Zian Flemming – hitting his stride at a crucial junction in the campaign.
Six points from six available since the arrival of Harris has allowed Millwall to stay afloat in the battle for Championship safety, with the Lions currently sitting in 18th place, just a single point ahead of Stoke in the relegation spots.
Blackburn Rovers vs. Millwall Head to head
In the 19 previous meetings between these two teams, Blackburn have claimed 10 victories while Millwall have won three, and they have drawn in six. Millwall have scored 18 goals and conceded 28 in the process.

Blackburn could be without the services of striker Semir Telalovic on Tuesday, with the German missing the weekend’s match due to illness.
Andrew Moran was replaced against Swansea following a shaky opening 45 minutes from the young Irishman, meaning that Yasin Ayari could take his place in the engine room this time around.
