Millwall vs Blackburn prediction: Another win for the Rovers
Key Stats
- Blackburn have won three of their previous four meetings with Millwall.
- Millwall have lost three games in a row and they are winless in their last six games in the league.
- We saw both teams score in the last four H2H duels between these two teams.
Correct score prediction: Millwall 1-2 Blackburn
The hosts enter this game in poor form and fresh out of manager as Neil Harris leaves the club, while Blackburn are on a six-game winning streak and looking like true promotion contenders. So, it's hard to see the guests slipping up in this game, although Millwall should be able to at least score a goal.

Millwall preview: A new era begins
As we mentioned above, Neil Harris has stepped down as Millwall's manager having guided them to safety, but he also left with his team on a bad run, with six games without a win and three losses in a row. David Livermore will be the interim manager for Millwall as they look for a permanent solution and he'll be hoping for a good result against an in-form opponent on Saturday.
When it comes to team news, Josh Coburn and Jake Cooper are out with injuries at the moment.
Predicted lineup: Jensen (GK), Leonard, Tanganga, Wallace, McNamara, De Norre, Saville, Esse, Honeyman, Watmore & Langstaff

Blackburn preview: Hoping to extend their winning streak
Six wins in a row have pushed Blackburn right into the playoff zone in the Championship, but they are now also just five points behind the automatic promotion spot while having a game in hand. If the Rovers can continue their amazing run, they will definitely have to be taken seriously as one of the main candidates to play in the Premier League next season.
Meanwhile, Scott Wharton, Arnor Sigurdsson, Zak Gilsenan, Hayden Carter, Leo Duru, and Balazs Toth are all out with injuries.
Predicted lineup: Pears (GK), Brittain, Hyam, Batth, Pickering, Tronstad, Travis, Cozier-Duberry, Ohashi, Beck & Gueye

Player to watch: Yuki Ohashi
The experienced Japanese forward has scored four goals for Blackburn this season in the Championship and he's been one of the team's key players on the offensive end so far, which is why Ohashi is our player to watch in this game too.
