Preview

Match preview

Blackburn return to Ewood Park aiming to arrest a difficult run of results, having recorded three defeats and a draw across their last four outings in all competitions. Rovers currently sit 18th in the Championship table with five points from six games, having scored seven goals and conceded nine. Despite recent defensive lapses that have seen them concede two goals in four of their last five matches, Blackburn have generally remained competitive and will look to their strong historical record in this fixture to spark momentum.

Millwall travel north occupying 8th position in the standings with nine points from five matches. While their home form has yielded two victories from three games, their away fixtures have produced volatile results, including a heavy 5-1 defeat at Southampton alongside a 1-0 victory at Cambridge United. The Lions arrive with an extensive list of absences, which could test their squad depth across the pitch.

Head-to-head records significantly favor the hosts. Blackburn are undefeated in their last five home encounters against Millwall, registering three wins and two draws. Rovers have also won the last three direct clashes between the two sides overall, including a 2-1 away victory in March 2026.
