Millwall form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Championship travels is 0 wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat. It's three draws from Millwall's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.

The supporters enjoyed Millwall's previous game versus Bristol City (placed 10th), a Championship 1-0 win played at home. Jed Wallace came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Bristol City last time out, making the manager G. Rowett feel like a tactical genius. Daniel Ballard was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.64. The defender Ballard won 10 of 13 duels.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Nottingham Forest that ended 1-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Millwall playing away and similar expectations, we found 19 relevant matches. Results were seven Millwall wins, seven draws and five defeats.

The attacking power of Millwall when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 5 league matches away. 6 goals have been conceded by Millwall in these games.
