Millwall will play host to Bristol City at The Den in the EFL Championship on Tuesday. The two sides will hope to build on their previous wins after a bumpy run.
Millwall vs Bristol City Preview
Millwall will enter this game on the back of a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace in the FA Cup. The loss was their second in five matches across competitions. However, they won their last league match on the road against Derby County 1-0, and will be keen on producing an even better performance at home.
The Lions could still put things right and salvage their campaign before it’s too late. They sit in mid-table, in the 12th spot, on 45 points, trailing the top spot by 21 points. However, they are only seven points behind the qualification zone for the Championship playoffs. With 11 matchdays to spare, anything can happen.
Bristol City prevailed over Middlesbrough 2-1 in their last Championship meeting, extending their unbeaten run to three games. The visitors are just two places above the hosts in the standings on 49 points. They still stand a chance of qualifying for the Championship playoffs, as they are only three points behind the teams currently occupying those positions.
The Robins succeeded in their last visit to Millwall, winning 1-0, while their previous meeting before that victory ended in a goalless draw. Those results could serve as inspiration as they head for this clash. However, Bristol City have been faring badly on the road of late. They have not recorded a win in their last five trips in all competitions.
