Millwall Preview – Will the Lions secure a first win in five?
After 20 games played, Millwall are in tenth place with 27 points to their name. The Lions have won six, drawn nine and lost five so far. They are tough to beat, but Gary Rowett’s side have drawn too many games. In fact, only bottom side Derby County have picked up more draws.
The London outfit are without a win in four since seeing off Reading at The Den on 2nd November. After successive draws with Derby, Middlesbrough and Bournemouth, Millwall suffered a disappointing 2-1 loss to Hull City at the MKM Stadium last Saturday.
If Millwall can start turning draws into wins, they could be genuine top-six contenders this season. Can Rowett’s troops seal a first victory in five at the weekend? The bookies have the home win priced at 6/5.
Birmingham City Preview – Can the Blues leave London with a point?
Lee Bowyer’s Birmingham City have been inconsistent this season. The Blues are in 14th spot after seven wins, eight defeats and five draws. Nevertheless, after a few years of struggle, a mid-table finish would arguably be a welcome outcome for the Blues faithful.
Birmingham head to The Den having won four of their last seven. However, before last weekend’s much-needed 1-0 home win over Blackpool, the Midlands club had lost two and drawn one of three.
