๐ Form Guide

Fewer than three goals per match were seen in 5 of the past 6 meetings where Millwall have been participants.

Going into this one, Cardiff City have not beaten Millwall in away games against them for the last 6 matches in the league. They'll be keen to stop this run.

โน๏ธ Team News: Millwall
The Millwall boss Neil Harris has no fitness concerns whatsoever before this clash with a completely healthy squad available for selection.
It seems likely that The Lions will possibly use the 4-4-2 system for this game, utilising Matija Sarkic, Ryan Leonard, Japhet Tanganga, Jake Cooper, Danny McNamara, Ryan Longman, Billy Mitchell, George Saville, Romain Esse, Zian Flemming and Michael Obafemi.
โน๏ธ Team News: Cardiff City
Out of a mainly available group, thereโs just the sole fitness issue for the Cardiff City manager Erol Bulut to be concerned with. Mark McGuinness (unknown injury) misses out for this game.
We reckon that The Bluebirds will likely play in a 4-4-1-1 formation, starting Ethan Horvath, Perry Ng, Nathaniel Phillips, Dimitrios Goutas, Jamilu Collins, Josh Bowler, Joe Ralls, Manolis Siopis, Karlan Grant, Rubin Colwill and Yakou Mรฉรฏtรฉ.
๐ก Prediction
Weโve got the feeling that Cardiff City will have a tough ask to break down this Millwall lineup who we reckon will gain the upper hand.
Weโre therefore predicting a very competitive game with a 1-0 winning score for Millwall at the end of the match.
Little in this one.
