Blackburn Rovers form and stats
Blackburn Rovers have played 5 Championship games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-0-2 (wins-draws-losses).
In their previous game, the manager Tomasson led his Blackburn to a defeat away at Luton Town. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Ewood Park. Defender Ayala got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.63/10. Ayala hit one key pass and won 7 of 10 duels.
Before that, Blackburn Rovers had a home game versus Watford which ended with a victory 2-0.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Blackburn have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 8 matches with the results: Won 3, drawn 1 and lost 4.
It should be considered that a look at the 10 most recent league matches shows that 8 of them qualified as a both teams not to score result (only one or none of the teams scored).
The manager Tomasson will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Cardiff City in only three days.
Blackburn Rovers are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 5 games.
Millwall form and stats
0-1-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Millwall in their Championship matches away. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Millwall have lost on their last two travels.
Millwall had fun at their own home (Ewood Park) last time out, beating Blackpool 2-1. Afobe scored. Flemming, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.85. Flemming hit the woodwork two (!) times and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Queens Park Rangers.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Millwall playing away and similar expectations, we found 18 relevant matches. Results were 3 Millwall wins, 7 draws and 8 defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Millwall manager Rowett as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Rotherham United.
Goals are few and far between in Millwall's away league games. Only 2 goals from 4 travels.
