Millwall Preview – Lions to secure first win in eight?
Gary Rowett’s Millwall made a good start to their season, winning four of their opening eight. During that run, only Swansea City managed to get the better of them. However, since a 2-0 win over Preston North End at Deepdale in October, the Lions have failed to win any of their following seven.
Millwall are the draw specialists in the Championship, with a staggering eight of their opening 15 fixtures ending all square. Before last Tuesday night’s 2-1 loss to Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park, the London side had drawn five games in a row, with three of those ending goalless.
The Den is usually a tough place to visit for away teams, but the lack of home fans has certainly had an impact on Millwall’s results. The Lions have picked up just one home league victory this season. Can Rowett’s men secure a much-needed three points at The Den on Saturday?
