Blackburn Rovers
- The hosts sit 16th in the Championship 2026/2027 with five points from their opening five matches, which would be deemed an average start to the campaign, but is certainly nothing to get too excited about.
- Their most recent two results have hardly built up momentum - a 0-0 draw away to Lincoln City and a 2-1 defeat away to Preston North End.
Millwall
- The Lions are currently in 7th place, having amassed nine points from their five games to date, and there's a feeling that they could be in a top-six shake-up come the end of the campaign.
- Millwall have conceded 2.50 goals per game on average in their two Championship 2026/2027 away matches.
Head-to-Head
- The hosts have won three of the last five H2Hs in the Championship.
- Blackburn beat Millwall 2-1 away five months ago, so they could just nick it on the day.
- Millwall have failed to win any of their last three away games against Rovers in the Championship, which tips this matchup in Rovers' favour.
Betting Insights
- Tony Mowbray has rebuilt Blackburn around possession and wider full-back play, but Rovers have the ability to press high when they're at their best.
- Alex Neil, on the other hand, has kept Millwall pragmatic and direct, and the best way for Millwall to trouble Rovers is to use compact defensive blocks and quick counter-attacks.
- This could be a long, transition-heavy battle, and under 2.5 goals at 1.83 looks like the best bet here.
- Blackburn are 2.92 and a draw is 3.4, so we're backing the draw at such a big price.
Prediction
The matchup looks tight and cagey, with the draw offering value given the recent H2H trends and the available odds.
