Millwall v Swansea City - Sky Bet Championship
Millwall host Blackburn in the Championship on Monday.

Millwall host Blackburn Rovers at the Den on Monday (May 8) in the final round of Championship football this season.

The hosts have had mixed results in the league recently but remain hopeful of securing a playoff spot. Millwall returned to winning ways in the league last weekend, beating Blackpool 3-2. Tom Bradshaw scored a brace before Zian Flemming scored a penalty to clinch maximum points for Gary Rowett's men.

Millwall are sixth in the Championship with 68 points and will guarantee playoff football with a win.

Blackburn, meanwhile, have struggled recently and fallen behind in the race for the playoffs. They drew 1-1 against Luton Town earlier this month. Blackburn looked set to be headed towards defeat before Hayden Carter headed home a late equaliser to open his account for the Rovers.

The visitors are ninth in the league table with 66 points from 45 games. They will be targeting victory but must rely on results elsewhere to secure a playoff spot.
