A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : England: Championship
Venue: The Den
Saturday 21st December 2024, 1500hrs
Millwall will be eager to avoid a fourth consecutive defeat in the Championship on Saturday afternoon when they play host to high-flying Blackburn Rovers at The Den which has left the London club sitting in a mid-table position of 13th place.
Recent defeats to the likes of Coventry City, Sheffield United and Middlesbrough respectively suggest this upcoming encounter on Saturday could result in another tough dat at the office for this Millwall outfit who have now failed to win any of their last six games overall.
The bigger picture shows Millwall have collected just four wins from their previous 13 matches overall in the Championship which does not appear to bode well for Neil Harris’s side especially as Millwall have lost their last two home games on the trot.
Blackburn Rovers will head into this Saturday afternoon clash in the nation’s capital on the back of six league wins on the trot which includes victories gained on the road at Cardiff City, Middlesbrough, Hull City and Sheffield Wednesday respectively.
Rovers therefore seem to have recovered from a previous three-match losing streak in the Championship and indeed the Lancashire club now occupy fifth place in the English second tier table and just five points shy of second placed Leeds United.
Having won their last four away games on the trot in the Championship, John Eustace’s Blackburn Rovers side look in great shape to add to their points tally at The Den on Saturday afternoon, while it is interesting to note that each of Blackburn’s last three away games have resulted in a 1-0 win for the visitors.
The Betting Verdict
Blackburn Rovers are unbeaten in each of their last eight meetings against Millwall along with picking up five wins in the process.
