Blackburn Rovers have been slowly edging their way back up the table after a horrible October, and they are now within three points of the top six.
They have gone five games unbeaten and their 2-1 win over Barnsley on Saturday meant they have accumulated 11 points out of a possible 15 in those matches.
Millwall have gone on an astonishing run of drawing all of their previous five games, meaning they are the team who have tied the most matches in the league (eight).
They aren’t a million miles away from the top six but the frustration will be that a win in just two of those recent games would have seen them into a playoff spot.

Millwall are unbeaten in five but may go six games without a win should Blackburn extend their successful run.
The hosts do have a number of injuries but also an abundance of attacking talent that are injury-free. That could be the difference in this game, especially with Millwall potentially missing their star defender.
Prediction: Blackburn Rovers 2-0 Millwall
