Under 2.5 goals at Blackburn vs Millwall 7/10 for Saturday’s Championship battle

Competition: Championship

Market: Under 2.5 goals

Odds: 7/10 @ 888sport

In a matchup that could prove to be a cagey affair this weekend, promotion contenders Blackburn will host Millwall on Saturday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, while Blackburn might still find themselves battling it out at the top of the Championship table, they are in the midst of what has become a sluggish run of form. In their 32 Championship matchups so far this season, they have recorded 15 wins, nine draws and eight defeats, scoring 45 and conceding 33 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 54, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat third in the table and four points adrift of breaking back into the automatic promotion places. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 0-0 stalemate away at West Brom, Blackburn have failed to win any of their last four Championship contests. Likewise, it should also be noted, Saturday’s hosts have seen each of their previous eight second-tier fixtures finish with under 2.5 goals.

As for the visitors, managing to find what has been a welcomed boost, Millwall will be desperate to keep up their recent momentum here. In their 31 Championship matchups so far this season, they have recorded 11 wins, 10 draws and 10 defeats, scoring 33 and conceding 33 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 43, the Blues open this weekend’s fixtures sat 14th in the standings and just a single point adrift of breaking into the top-half. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 2-0 win against play-off contenders QPR on home soil, Millwall have lost just one of their previous five Championship matchups. Likewise, it should be highlighted, with Saturday’s opponents seeing seven of their last eight meetings finish with under 2.5 goals, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
