Blackburn vs Millwall prediction, H2H and probable lineups - 20 December 2025
One of Saturday’s fixtures in the 22nd round of the English Championship will take place at Ewood Park in Blackburn, where the local Blackburn Rovers host London’s Millwall. I’m offering a bet on the outcome of this clash with promising odds for success.
Match preview
Blackburn’s home form remains one of the weakest in the division—just six points from ten matches at Ewood Park. The team is winless in five consecutive rounds and most recently fell to Portsmouth. As a result, the hosts continue to hover dangerously close to the relegation zone and are forced to look down the table.
Some draws, such as those against Ipswich and Oxford, have helped save face, but the overall drop in attacking output and game dynamics is evident. Additionally, the team is rarely involved in high-scoring encounters—over the last ten rounds, there hasn’t been a single match with more than two goals scored or conceded.
Millwall, after an emotional victory over Bristol City, failed to build on that success, picking up just one point from the next two rounds. The home defeat to Hull (1-3) was particularly painful, ending their unbeaten run at The Den and exposing ongoing vulnerabilities at the back when facing quick transitions from the opposition.
Nevertheless, the Lions’ away form remains a genuine strength—16 points from 10 matches and only two defeats on the road. Even with squad limitations, this team knows how to exploit opponents’ weaknesses, and Blackburn right now fits that profile perfectly.
Probable lineups
- Blackburn: Pears, Miller, McLaughlin, Ribeiro, Gardner-Hickman, Morishita, Tronstad, Neave, Cantwell, Ohashi, Gudjohnsen
- Millwall: Crocombe, Krama, Taylor, Cooper, Bryan, Negli, Doherty, Emakhu, Bangura-Williams, Ballo, Ivanovic
Match facts and head-to-head
- Millwall have picked up 16 points from 10 away matches—one of the best records in the league.
- Blackburn are winless in their last five matches, with three draws and two defeats.
- None of Blackburn’s last ten Championship games have seen more than two goals scored.
Prediction
Millwall’s away form inspires more confidence than Blackburn’s home performances. The visitors are adept at playing on the counter and capitalizing on opponents’ mistakes, which is especially crucial against a team that has lost its self-belief. I believe the smart move here is to back "Millwall double chance" at 1.67.
