Millwall Preview – Will the Lions secure first win in four?
Gary Rowett’s Millwall made a solid start to their Championship season, winning four, drawing three and losing only one of their opening eight. However, since making it ten points from a possible 12 with a 2-0 win over Preston North End at Deepdale, the Lions have taken just two points from their last three games.
Millwall have battled to back-to-back away stalemates in their last two, holding both Norwich City and Sheffield Wednesday to goalless draws. However, in their previous match at The Den, the London side fell to a shock 3-0 defeat to Huddersfield Town.
Millwall do not lose many at home, and they will be eager to hit back after their surprise 3-0 loss to the Terriers at the end of last month. Can Rowett’s side pick up an important three points on their own patch this Saturday?
Cardiff City Preview – Can the Welsh team avoid defeat in the English capital?
Eight of Cardiff City’s 13 Championship points have come away from the Cardiff City Stadium this season. The Bluebirds lost 3-2 at Queens Park Rangers in their last away match, but they have beaten Nottingham Forest and Preston, and drawn with Blackburn Rovers and Derby County on the road.
The mood in the Cardiff camp will be flat after their disappointing 1-0 home defeat to Severnside rivals Bristol City before the international break. That was a real setback for the Bluebirds, who had beaten Barnsley 3-0 at the Cardiff City Stadium just a few days before.
