Blackburn have lost four of their last five games in all competitions
Millwall seek to bounce back from Carabao Cup exit to Newcastle
Recommended bet: Millwall to win to nil, Millwall over 1.5 goals and Millwall over 3.5 shots on target @ 6/1 with LiveScore Bet
Blackburn will be hoping to stop the rot when they face Millwall at Ewood Park in the Championship on Saturday.
The hosts started the season well with a 2-2 draw away at Wolves and 2-1 home victory over Middlesbrough but have since gone five games without a win.
Millwall have won three of their five league games but lost 1-0 to Newcastle in the League Cup on Tuesday.
Team news
Both teams have extensive injury lists. Blackburn were without a senior striker when losing 2-1 to Sheffield United on Tuesday.
Andri Gudjohnsen missed that game due to a quad issue and Mathias Jorgensen and Yuki Ohashi are among the other attacking options currently unavailable to head coach Tony Mowbray.
Lewis Miller, Moussa Baradji, Augustus Kargbo and Scott Wharton have also been absent so far this season for Rovers.
Casper De Norre and Josh Coburn are the most recent additions to Millwall’s lengthy injury list.
Mark Sykes could be back after missing the last two games due to concussion but long-term absentees Tristan Crama, Alfie Doughty, Mathis Servais, Mihailo Ivanovic and Massimo Luongo remain sidelined.
Ryan Leonard, Lukas Jensen and Luke Cundle are others to have missed recent games.

Prediction
Injuries are already depleting both Blackburn and Millwall at this early stage of the season but the Lions should still have too much quality for their hosts.
Blackburn may well have to field winger Jayden Fevrier as a striker for the second game running, and given their attacking absentees, goals have understandably been hard to come by.
Rovers have scored just three goals in their last four games and Millwall to win to nil makes plenty of appeal, given all three of their league wins have come without conceding.
Alex Neil’s outfit performed with great credit when going down 1-0 to Newcastle in the EFL Cup in midweek given the number of players sidelined.
Another promotion push will be much more of a priority and the Lions trounced strugglers Bolton 4-0 in their last league match.
Millwall have not won at Ewood Park since 2013 but can put an end to that particular awayday hoodoo on Saturday.
Score prediction: Blackburn 0-2 Millwall
