Millwall Preview – Will the Lions draw for a fifth successive league fixture?
Millwall were the draw specialists in the 2020-21 Championship season, and Gary Rowett’s boys have already drawn six times this term. Since a 2-1 home victory over Blackpool at the end of last month, the Lions have drawn with West Bromwich Albion, Swansea City, Coventry City and Nottingham Forest.
The Londoners are hard to beat under Rowett, but the victory over Blackpool on 28th August remains their only league success this season. On the flip side, only Fulham and Cardiff City have beaten them in this term’s Championship.
Millwall are one of several clubs with promotion aspirations, but they must start turning draws into wins. Can they start by claiming all three points from this one? The home victory is priced at evens.
Bristol City Preview – Can the Robins extend undefeated run?
Bristol City had a horrendous finish to last season, and Nigel Pearson’s boys started this campaign with just one win from their opening four in the Championship. However, the Robins have found some form in recent weeks.
Since a 1-0 home reverse to Swansea City in August, which was a second reverse in three matches, Bristol City have put together a five-game undefeated run in the Championship. They have beaten Cardiff and Queens Park Rangers and drawn with Preston North End, Luton Town and Fulham.
