Ewood Park plays host to a crucial Championship clash as Blackburn Rovers welcome Millwall on Friday. The match marks a pivotal moment in the season for both sides, with Rovers aiming to break into the top half of the table, while Millwall seek to consolidate their place among the league’s top ten.

Blackburn Rovers vs Millwall Betting Tips

Our betting tip for this Championship encounter is a home win for Blackburn Rovers. Despite Millwall being four points ahead in the league and sitting in 9th compared to Rovers’ 12th place, the home side have shown strong form at Ewood Park with 10 wins from 21 matches.

Millwall, while consistent, have recorded just 6 wins in 21 away outings. Blackburn also hold a favourable head-to-head record in recent meetings, having beaten Millwall 3 times in the last 5 encounters.

Blackburn come into this fixture on the back of a 1-0 away win at Luton Town, while Millwall defeated Middlesbrough 1-0 at The Den. With both sides capable of grinding out narrow victories, the home advantage could prove crucial in what is expected to be a close match.

Rovers’ ability to win tight games at home and their superior recent record against Millwall makes them a strong candidate for the win.

Blackburn Rovers vs Millwall Betting Tips

Our Blackburn v Millwall betting tips point towards a narrow home victory. While Millwall’s form is superior, Blackburn’s fortress-like status at Ewood Park makes them formidable opponents on home soil. Backing a home win presents value in what is expected to be a tight affair.

A bet on ‘Both Teams to Score – No’ offers strong potential, given the Lions’ tendency to keep games tight and Rovers’ preference for narrow wins at home.

Blackburn Rovers vs Millwall Match Predictions

Our Blackburn v Millwall prediction is a win for the home side.

Blackburn may have endured a mixed run of form, but their performance levels at home remain solid. Ismaël’s team tends to produce more organised and aggressive displays in front of their supporters, and with Millwall not known for free-flowing attacking football, Rovers could edge this contest with a single goal.

Tactically, this fixture will be defined by compactness and counter-attacks. Expect Blackburn to press high early, seeking to unsettle Millwall’s defensive rhythm. In contrast, Neil’s Lions will look to frustrate and absorb pressure before launching their own sporadic surges forward.

Match Prediction: Blackburn to win. Bet with bet365.

Blackburn Rovers vs Millwall Correct Score Tips & Prediction

For our Blackburn v Millwall score prediction, we suggest a 1-0 win to Blackburn Rovers.

This scoreline mirrors their recent win over Luton and aligns with their home form, where they’ve managed several one-goal victories. Millwall’s away games frequently result in low-scoring encounters, with 14 of their matches on the road ending in under 2.5 goals.

The last five head-to-head matches show a trend of narrow margins. Blackburn have won three of those, with two of the victories being to nil. Rovers’ ability to keep things tight at the back when playing at Ewood Park cannot be overstated, and given Millwall’s average of just 0.95 goals per away match, another home clean sheet looks highly probable.

Correct Score Prediction: 1-0 to Blackburn. Bet with bet365.

Blackburn Rovers vs Millwall Over & Under Goals Betting Tips

The Blackburn v Millwall Over/Under goals prediction strongly supports an ‘Under 2.5 Goals’ selection.

Rovers’ average home goals per game stands at 2.38, but that number is skewed by a handful of high-scoring games. In reality, the majority of their home wins have come by single-goal margins. They’ve kept nine clean sheets at home and conceded just 16 goals in 21 matches at Ewood Park.

Millwall, on the other hand, have scored just 17 away goals all season while conceding 24. With eight away matches ending in blanks, their attacking output on the road is limited.

Both sides have proven capable of grinding out results rather than overpowering opponents. Thus, the value lies in a wager on under 2.5 total goals, which aligns with the tactical nature of this fixture.

Over/Under Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.

Blackburn Rovers vs Millwall Bet Builder Tip

For our Blackburn v Millwall Bet Builder tip, we recommend the following combination:

• Blackburn Rovers to Win
• Under 2.5 Goals
• Andreas Weimann to Score Anytime

Weimann’s return adds an extra dimension to Rovers’ attack. A versatile forward with Premier League experience, he is likely to find space against a deep-lying Millwall defence. Having returned to fitness and form, his intelligent movement makes him a prime candidate for a goal.

Combining a home win with Weimann to score and fewer than three goals provides both value and logic, given the likely tempo and structure of the match.arpness in front of goal makes him a potent threat, especially against a Spurs defence prone to lapses.

Bet Builder Tip: Under 2.5 goals, Blackburn Rovers to win, and Andreas Weimann to score anytime. Bet with bet365.
