An upset could be on the cards at Ewood Park on Tuesday evening given the contrasting form of Millwall and Blackburn.
Rovers looked well on course to finish in the playoffs this season, however, they have now won just once in their last seven matches.
Meanwhile, Millwall are starting to make a push of their own to finish in the top six winning all of their last five games.
This would be a bold shout given the league positions of the two clubs, however, Millwall’s recent defensive record suggests otherwise.
The Lions have now kept four clean sheets in a row and have looked very sturdy in defence.
Blackburn have also struggled for goals and have failed to score in seven of their last nine league matches.
Losing Ben Brereton Díaz to injury has also been a big contributing factor towards their poor goal scoring form.
Match preview: Blackburn Rovers vs Millwall
Blackburn were dealt another blow in their push for the playoffs as they lost to Fulham on Saturday.
Rovers were beaten 2-0 at Craven Cottage by the league leaders.
However, with teams below them also dropping points, Tony Mowbray’s side remained 4th.
Their recent form has been a concern though having now won just once in their last seven matches.
