Blackburn Rovers vs Millwall Preview
Blackburn Rovers find themselves in a precarious position, sitting 18th in the Championship with just one draw and four defeats from their last five outings. Tony Mowbray's side face a genuine attacking crisis, with winger Jayden Fevrier expected to operate as an emergency striker due to a shortage of recognised forwards. Andri Guðjohnsen may return after resuming training, but Blackburn's struggles at Ewood Park this season have been deeply concerning.
Millwall arrive in considerably better shape, occupying 8th place and boasting three wins from their last five league fixtures. Alex Neil's men delivered a commanding four-goal demolition of Bolton Wanderers in their most recent league outing, though a narrow EFL Cup defeat to Newcastle offered a reminder that consistency remains a work in progress. A lengthy injury list has forced some tactical reshuffling, yet the Lions' superior points-per-game rate of 1.8 underlines their quality advantage heading into this fixture.
Millwall's recent form makes the double chance covering a draw or away win the standout selection here. Sitting 8th with three victories from their last five league fixtures, Neil's side carry genuine momentum into Ewood Park. Their points-per-game rate of 1.8 comfortably outstrips Blackburn's 0.83, and a commanding 4-0 demolition of Bolton last time out underlines their attacking capability when firing.
Blackburn's struggles run deeper than the table suggests. A severe shortage of recognised forwards has forced Tony Mowbray to redeploy winger Jayden Fevrier as an emergency striker. Guðjohnsen's fitness remains uncertain, while Baradji is only a bench option at best. That lack of cutting edge up front, combined with a five-game winless streak, severely limits the hosts' capacity to control proceedings against a well-drilled opponent.
The away price at 2.43 reflects Millwall's superiority, and the draw at 3.28 provides additional cover given Blackburn's historical head-to-head dominance, having won three of the last five meetings. Under 2.5 goals at 1.87 also appeals; Millwall have recorded fewer than 1.5 first-half goals in 18 of their last 20 matches. Odds correct at time of publication.

Medium confidence
Both sides line up in a matching 4-2-3-1 formation, setting the stage for a tactically familiar Championship contest at Ewood Park. The midfield battle will be central, with Sam Morsy anchoring Blackburn's double pivot against Millwall's industrious engine room.
For Millwall, Lyndon Dykes leads the line as the focal point, supported by creative runners in behind. With both XIs predicted from a single source, treat these lineups as probable guides rather than certainties, and watch for any late changes closer to kickoff.
