Happy days for Bristol City in their previous game, a Championship match away at Fulham (placed 3rd) that ended with a 2-1 victory. Ahead of that match, Bristol City won a home game hosting Huddersfield Town (5-2).

This is expected to be a close game, with Bristol City perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Bristol City as a small favourite), we find eleven games. Bristol City has won 3 of these, drawn 5 and lost 3.

Millwall form and stats

There's been little loot from Millwall's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 10 away games in the Championship. Millwall only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 5 draws. The last three matches for Millwall have all ended in a draw.

There were no winners in Millwall's previous match, a Championship home game that ended 2-2 vs Nottingham Forest (placed 5th). A 1-1 draw at Birmingham City's stadium before that.

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 ten relevant matches. Results were 2 Millwall wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Millwall now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Championship game at Derby County is waiting in only four days.
