📰 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.

🗞️ Team News: Cardiff City

Out of a mainly available group, there’s 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 Méïté.

🔮 Prediction

We’ve 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.

We’re therefore predicting a very competitive game with a 1-0 winning score for Millwall at the end of the match.
