LONDON (Interstat) — Millwall will look to extend its recent surge and avenge a December defeat when it hosts a struggling Blackburn Rovers side in the English Football League Championship on Saturday.

The match at The Den is a clash of teams moving in opposite directions. Millwall enters with momentum from a 1-0 road victory over Derby County on Tuesday, its third win in four matches. In that span, the Lions have outscored opponents 9-1, including a 3-1 win at Hull City and a 3-0 rout of Birmingham City.

Blackburn, meanwhile, is mired in a slump, winless in its last four matches across all competitions. Rovers are coming off a 1-0 home loss to Oxford United in a midweek fixture and have managed just two points from their last four league outings. Their form has been inconsistent for months, with just three victories in their last 13 Championship matches.

The head-to-head recent history favors the visitors, however. When the teams met on Dec. 20, Blackburn secured a 2-0 victory at Ewood Park. Millwall will be keen to overturn that result and continue a strong home stretch where they have lost just once in their last six at The Den.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, Millwall is projected to claim a narrow 1-0 victory.

A win for Millwall could see the South London club solidify its position in the playoff chase as the season enters its final weeks. For Blackburn, currently hovering closer to the relegation zone than the promotion picture, points are becoming increasingly urgent to halt their slide.

Key Context: - Millwall Form: Won 3 of last 4 (all competitions). Scored 9, conceded 1 in those wins. - Blackburn Form: Winless in 4 (D1, L3). Scored only 1 goal in those 4 games. - Last Meeting: Blackburn Rovers 2, Millwall 0 (Dec. 20, 2025). - Projection: Interstat simulator predicts a 1-0 Millwall victory.

The fixture is one of 12 Championship matches scheduled for Saturday as the battle for Premier League promotion and the fight to avoid relegation intensify. Following this match, Millwall travels to face Ipswich Town on March 21, while Blackburn hosts Middlesbrough the same day.
