• Recommended bet: Draw

Blackburn will look to ease fears of relegation when they welcome Millwall to Ewood Park on Saturday in the Championship.

Rovers are only three points and two places above the bottom three and will have their work cut trying to get a victory as Millwall are fourth and only seven points behind second-placed Middlesbrough.

Team News

Blackburn manager Valerien Ismael has several injury woes to contend with as Ryan Hedges, Adam Forshaw, Hayden Carter, Scott Wharton, Augustus Kargbo, Balazs Toth and Kristi Montgomery are all sidelined.

Ryan Alebiosu is away on international duty, having joined the Nigeria squad for the Africa Cup of Nations.

Millwall boss Alex Neil has a midfield injury crisis on his hands as seven first-team central midfielders missed last weekend's 3-1 defeat to Hull City.

Femi Azeez is suspended, Daniel Kelly is a doubt, while Derek Mazou-Sacko, Massimo Luongo, Josh Coburn, Ryan Leonard, Billy Mitchell, Luke Cundle, Will Smallbone and Casper De Norre are sidelined.

The stats

Blackburn are winless in five games in the Championship, but they have drawn three of those fixtures.

Ismael's team have the second-worst home record in the Championship, having only earned six points from 10 games at Ewood Park.

Rovers are unbeaten in their last nine matches against Millwall on home soil.

Millwall have gained 16 points from 10 away fixtures this season; only three teams have bettered that return.

The Lions have won three of their last five outings, and they have only lost to Hull during that time.

Prediction

The form of both teams and the table suggests this encounter should be a foregone conclusion.

Millwall have been at a better level than Blackburn all season, but their injury woes have crept up on them at the worst possible time.

The winter period is known for its brutality, with players put through their paces, and even though Millwall will have had a week to prepare, they are not expected to welcome back many players.

Neil's team have not won any of their last two and while Blackburn could struggle to impose themselves on the game, as they have for much of the season, they should have enough in the tank to secure a share of the spoils.

Three draws in five for Blackburn suggests they have enough fighting spirit in their ranks to make life difficult for a Millwall side who are lacking several key players.
