Millwall vs Blackburn prediction, preview, team news and more | EFL Championship 2021-22

Millwall host Blackburn at The Den in the EFL Championship on Saturday. Both sides had contrasting results on opening day.

Millwall drew 1-1 in their first game against QPR last week and followed that up with a 2-1 win against Portsmouth in the Carabao Cup. Gary Rowett will be happy with his side's performances so far, but will look to win against Blackburn on Saturday.

Blackburn, on the other hand, got off to a great start with a 2-1 win against Swansea last time out. However, Tony Mowbray's side will be going into the game off the back of a 2-1 loss against Morecambe in the Carabao Cup. The Rovers will be looking to bounce back with a win against Millwall.
