Millwall Football Club head to Ewood Park on Saturday, 12 September, looking to end a run of three defeats in five Championship games as they face a Blackburn Rovers side without a win in their last four matches. Official data confirms Millwall sit eighth in the table on nine points from five games, four points behind leaders West Brom.
Lions look to bounce back
Millwall's most recent outing ended in a 0-1 defeat to Newcastle at The Den on Tuesday, 8 September, four days after a 4-0 win over Bolton in which C. Taylor, L. Dykes twice and C. Neghli found the net. Blackburn have fared worse, losing four of their last five games, including back-to-back 1-2 defeats to Sheffield United either side of a scoreless draw with Lincoln, leaving them 18th in the table.
Absentees for Millwall
J. Coburn, T. Crama, L. Cundle, C. De Norre, A. Doughty and M. Ivanovic remain sidelined for Millwall, a list tracked in full on the club's injuries page.
Head-to-head context
The reverse fixture in March ended Millwall 1-2 Blackburn, and Saturday's trip arrives with Millwall still above their hosts in the standings despite Tuesday's home defeat. F. Marschall started in goal against Newcastle, as shown by the matchday squad, and is set to retain his place at Ewood Park on Saturday.
