Millwall are still without an away win so far in this season’s Championship following Saturday’s 3-2 defeat away at London rivals, Brentford, but Millwall return to The Den for this Tuesday night’s encounter against Cardiff City in reasonably confident mood.
Upon first glance overall results have been pretty average for Millwall as they’ve picked up just 1 win out of their last 9 matches in the second tier, which was a surprise 2-1 home win against 2nd placed Leeds United before the international break.
7 of these 9 matches have resulted with both teams scoring, while Millwall have suffered just 1 defeat at The Den so far this season, winning 3 of their 5 matches to date on home turf with wins over Preston North End, Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds United.
Millwall’s one defeat at The Den to date was a 2-1 loss to QPR, but again, both teams scored on that occasion and The Lions also possess some key attacking personnel in the shape of midfielder Wallace (4 goals) along with forwards Bradshaw (4 goals) and Smith (3 goals).
Cardiff City were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Sheffield Wednesday on Friday night in a match which either side could have taken all three points, but The Bluebirds have suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 9 matches overall in the Championship, so they too will fancy their chances of getting something from this clash in the nation’s capital.
Cardiff’s one blot on their copy-book during these last 9 matches was a 4-2 loss away at The Hawthorns against Championship league leaders, West Brom, but Neil Warnock’s side still remain within striking distance of the play-off pack.
6 of Cardiff’s last 9 matches have also seen both teams score so the goal markets look a good option here, especially as Cardiff have still yet to register an away win so far this season in the second tier.
The Welsh club have recorded 3 draws and 3 defeats on their travels so far this term, but 4 of these 6 away matches to date have also resulted with both teams scoring, and the visitors possess various attacking options at Neil Warnock’s disposal, including forwards Ward (3 goals) and Glatzel (2 goals).
The Bluebirds stand a decent chance of scoring here too while Millwall have been steady at home, so both teams scoring looks likely here.
