There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Championship table so far. Here's the Blackburn Rovers - Millwall latest:
- Blackburn Rovers has the most scored goals (27) in Championship
- Millwall has the fewest conceded goals (3) away in Championship
It's no vacation for neither Blackburn nor Millwall as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Blackburn Rovers form and stats
Blackburn Rovers, who have the most scored goals (27) in Championship, have played 7 Championship games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-2-2 (wins-draws-losses). The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Ewood Park.
Blackburn Rovers's last game was hosting Barnsley (placed 16th) and winning 2-1. Before that match, a win away at Preston North End.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of T. Mowbray when Sam Gallagher scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 66th minute.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Blackburn have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eleven games) they have won six times, drawn three and lost two.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Blackburn Rovers as they are travelling to their away game against Brentford in the Championship. That match is three days after this one.
The Blackburn fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 12 goals in 7 league matches. On the other hand, Blackburn have conceded 7 goals.
Millwall form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team, who have the fewest conceded goals (3) away in Championship, on their Championship travels is 3 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat. The Millwall manager G. Rowett is a generous human being, having led his team to five draws in a row during the last 32 days. It's three draws from Millwall's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.
Millwall are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 0-0 draw at Birmingham City (placed 17th). Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Reading.
Millwall are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is four wins, four draws and one defeat. From a total of nine matches.
After this away game Millwall return home for a Championship game against Derby County. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Millwall as they have only managed to score 6 times from 7 away games in the league. The Millwall defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (3 goals in 7 games).
Head 2 Head
Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Blackburn won five games, three matches ended with a draw and Millwall has two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: four / sixTop Goalscorers
