Next up is an all-London affair between Millwall and Fulham at The Den on Wednesday night in the Championship with both teams looking for all three points in their quest for promotion, but via different routes.
Millwall have recently lost ground on the play-off pack though as The Lions have dropped down to 10th place in the Championship following defeats to Leeds United and West Brom and although they gained a point in a 0-0 draw away from home at Sheffield Wednesday, this means that Millwall have picked up just 1 point from the last possible 9 on offer.
In fact, Millwall have managed to pick up just 1 win out of their last 5 matches overall which came in the shape of a 2-0 home win against Reading and the hosts were involved in another draw in the form of a 0-0 stalemate away from home at Stoke City.
Results at The Den have been a little hit-or-miss for The Lions as Millwall have drawn 2, won 3 and lost 2 in their last 7 matches at home in the Championship.

Onto Fulham, and the visitors are currently enjoying an impressive 5-match sequence without defeat in the Championship as they’ve put together 4 wins ands 1 draw in this decent spell of results.
Wins against Hull City, Middlesbrough, Huddersfield Town and Blackburn Rovers have helped The Cottagers up into 3rd spot in the second tier, and with West Brom and Leeds United producing ordinary results of late, Scott Parker’s Fulham side have cashed in and have closed the gap on the top two clubs.
Fulham are now just 4 points adrift of Championship leaders, West Brom, but the visitors haven’t blitzed their opponents this time around at this stage of the campaign unlike their previous promotion campaign.
4 of Fulham’s last 5 matches overall have resulted in under 2.5 goals with 4 of these 5 matches being settled by a single goal with the exception of their 0-0 draw with Charlton Athletic.
In addition, 10 of Fulham’s 15 away matches have also resulted in under 2.5 goals, so there’s every chance that this upcoming all-London clash with Millwall could end up in a low-scoring affair under the lights at The Den.
