Gary Rowett’s Millwall started the season with top-six ambitions, but their play-off hopes have been dealt a huge blow after a poor run of results. The Lions were tough to beat in the early months of the season, but they head into this one having lost four of their last six in the league.
Millwall thought they had turned a corner after a win over West Bromwich Albion and a draw with Preston North End, but they were easily beaten at Fulham in midweek. The Londoners have slipped down to 15th and are now nine points away from sixth.
Despite their recent woes, Millwall have remained solid at home, with just Nottingham Forest winning on their patch in the league since October. Can Rowett’s troops return to winning ways in front of their home supporters on Saturday?
Cardiff City Preview – Will the Bluebirds make it four wins on the spin?
It has been a tough old season for Cardiff City, who finished in fifth and eighth in the last two campaigns after dropping back down from the Premier League. The Bluebirds have spent most of this term hovering just above the bottom three. However, they have shown a big improvement since Steve Morison took over from Mick McCarthy.
Cardiff have moved 12 points clear of 22nd place after an excellent run of results. The Welsh side have picked up three wins in a row for the first time this season, seeing off Nottingham Forest, Barnsley and Peterborough United. They were very easy on the eye against Posh in midweek, thumping Darren Ferguson’s side 4-0 at the Cardiff City Stadium.
