Our prediction for this Championship match:
Millwall and Blackburn take on each other at the Den in what is expected to be a close Championship encounter. The Lions suffered a dip in form, losing each of their last three league matches and given their difficulties up front, home win should not be considered. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but all Coburn, Cooper, Hutchinson, Kelly, and Scanlon remain in the recovery room.
The Riversiders, on the other hand, are on a six-game winning run in the Championship ahead of the trip to London. Blackburn are eyeing their sixth consecutive clean sheet and given Millwall’s struggles in front of goal, we believe that there is a big value in betting on under 2.5 goals. In their last meeting in the English second tier, the two sides played out a 1-1 draw. The likes of Carter, Gilsenan, Toth, Weimann, and Wharton should miss out with injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Team (Millwall):
Based in Bermonsdey, South East London, Millwall are a football club whose supporters have often been associated with hooliganism. West Ham United are considered the club’s biggest rivals and there have always been fireworks in clashes between the two teams.
The Lions share rivalry with Charlton as well and the two teams first met back in 1921. The Den is Milwall’s home ground at the capacity of the stadium, which was opened in 1993, is 20.146.
The capital club did well to make it to the 2003/2004 FA Cup final, but Premier League giants Manchester United proved to be a big catch for the Lions. The Red Devils won the game 3-0, but despite suffering the heavy loss in the title game, Milwall booked their place in the UEFA Cup. However, Ferencvaros of Hungary proved to be a big catch for the English outfit in the two-legged tie.
Australia international Tim Cahill is considered one of the most notable footballers who whore Millwall shirt (1998-2004).
