Millwall Preview – Can the Lions pick up a rare home win?
After a shock 2-0 home defeat to Neil Warnock’s Middlesbrough, Millwall picked up a crucial 1-0 win at Hull City last time out. It was a tight and tense matchup at the KCOM Stadium, with Ryan Leonard’s second-minute goal doing the business for the Lions.
With just three games to go, Millwall are still well and truly in the mix for the play-offs. The Londoners are two points behind sixth-place Cardiff City. Gary Rowett has done a terrific job at The Den, turning the Lions into genuine play-off challengers this season.
Millwall have been in patchy form of late, but they have won two of their last three. Since returning to action from the enforced break, Millwall have won two, drawn two and lost two of six.
The Den can be a tough place to visit in the Championship, but Millwall have not won at home in league action since January. Can they put that strange stat to bed with a crucial home win on Tuesday?
Blackburn Rovers Preview – Will the Blue and Whites make it back-to-back away wins?
Like Millwall, Blackburn Rovers are still in with a shout of the play-offs. However, they are four points behind sixth spot, so defeat at The Den on Tuesday could see their promotion dreams shattered.
After three straight defeats, Blackburn sealed an excellent 3-2 win at Cardiff City in their previous away fixture. Rovers were worthy winners in the Welsh capital, with Danny Graham, Dominic Samuel and Adam Armstrong netting in the eye-opening victory. That was their first away triumph since mid-February.

Blackburn followed up victory at the Cardiff City Stadium by holding Premier League chasing West Bromwich Albion to a draw at Ewood Park last weekend. After going a goal down shortly before half time, Tony Mowbray’s boys showed plenty of fighting spirit to come back and earn a point thanks to a Joe Rothwell effort.
Overall, Blackburn have had a good season in the Championship. Rovers have quietly gone about their business, but they have never been too far away from the top six. Can the Blue and Whites keep their promotion dream alive with a precious three points in the English capital on Tuesday night?
