Millwall host Blackburn Rovers at the Den on Saturday in the EFL Championship, looking to end their three-game losing run in the competition. After going nine matches unbeaten, the Lions lost consecutively to Coventry City, Sheffield United and Middlesbrough.
Interestingly, they were all a series of 1-0 losses. Overall, their winless run now stands at six games.
Such a decline in form has seen them relegated to the 13th position in the Championship standings. They have just 25 points from 20 games, having won just six times in the league this season.
By contrast, Blackburn are flying right now with six consecutive league wins. Having lost their previous three, they have managed to turn their fortunes around in style. With that, they have climbed up to fifth positon in the Championship table with 37 points from 20 games.
