Blackburn vs Millwall prediction and betting tips on March 5, 2024
One of the matches in the 36th round of the Championship will be played at "Ewood Park," where the local Blackburn will host their neighbor in the table, Millwall. Will the "rovers" manage to secure victory on home turf? Dailysports experts have prepared a prediction for this match.
Blackburn
Gone are the days of Blackburn's former glory. Currently under the guidance of the Dane Jon Dahl Tomasson, the "rovers" are enduring a very challenging season, occupying a mere 17th place in the Championship table after 35 matches. They are trailing the sixth spot by a considerable 17 points. In their last fixture, Tomasson's men suffered a 1-2 defeat away to Swansea, extending their winless streak to six matches. This period includes Championship fixtures as well as a cup encounter against Newcastle, which was lost in a penalty shootout.
Millwall
Under Adam Barrett's leadership, the team is fighting for survival, but their recent performances have significantly worsened their league position. Not long ago, they held a five-point advantage over relegation-threatened teams, but now their handicap has shrunk to just one point. However, recent results offer hope to fans that they might ultimately retain their Championship status. In the previous round, the "Lions" defeated Watford 1-0 at home, and prior to that, they secured a 2-1 victory away against Southampton. It's worth noting that before these victories, the "Lions" endured a winless streak of seven matches.

Both teams are in need of points, and playing for a draw doesn't make sense. Therefore, our bet is on "Both Teams to Score" with odds of 1.78.
