Blackburn vs Millwall: match preview
Blackburn currently sits in the middle of the league table. After 42 rounds, the team has accumulated 56 points and occupies the 10th position. The Rovers are seven points behind the sixth spot, so the chances of making it to the playoff for promotion are still alive. With four matches remaining in the season, they need to win to stay in the race, a task they have struggled with. In the last round, Blackburn defeated Luton 1-0, but before that, they couldn't secure a win in eight consecutive matches.
Millwall is one position above Blackburn. After 42 rounds, the team has 60 points, four more than the Rovers. The Lions have slightly better chances of breaking into the top-6 and contending for a Premier League spot. The team has won their last three matches, two of which were without conceding a goal. In the last five rounds, Millwall celebrated victory four times and lost only once. However, on the road, the Lions have lost three of their last five matches. Ahead are four crucial clashes and four points to catch up.
Probable lineups
- Blackburn: Tot; Rankin-Costello, Batth, Hyam, Yuri Ribeiro; Tronstad, Travis, Cantwell; Dolan, Ohashi, Hedges
- Millwall: Jensen; Leonard, Cresswell, Cooper, Bryan; Honeyman, De Norre, Mitchell, Campbell; Emakhu, Ivanovic
Prediction
Both teams are fighting for a spot in the top-6 of the league table. However, Millwall is currently in better form. The Lions have won their last two matches without conceding a goal, and I believe they will at least not lose. Bet on Millwall not to lose with odds of 1.54.
