Millwall form and stats

Overall Championship stats at home this season for Millwall are 4-10-3 (wins-draw-losses).

A nice win for Millwall last time playing, versus Preston North End. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with Mason Bennett and Scott Malone scoring for the victors. Heartbreak before that as Millwall lost 1-2 at Barnsley's place.

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 Millwall have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 16 matches with the results: Won four, drawn nine and lost three.

The Millwall fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 17 matches. Millwall have only conceded 14 from their league home games.

Blackburn Rovers form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Blackburn Rovers so far with only 17 points returning home. The records show 5-2-10 (win-draw-lose). It's all red in the travel logs of Blackburn, having lost four matches in a row as the visiting team.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Blackburn, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Reading (placed 5th). Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Coventry City.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Blackburn Rovers playing away and similar expectations, we found 18 relevant matches. Results were five Blackburn wins, one draw and twelve defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Blackburn are hosting Swansea City in the Championship only three days away.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Blackburn Rovers have scored 22 goals in 17 league games away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 20 goals have been conceded by Blackburn in these games.
