A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Bristol City fans are optimistic that the difference between 7th and Millwall's 17th place in the table will show on the pitch.
- Millwall have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Bristol City form and stats
4 victories, 2 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Bristol City have to build on here at Ashton Gate Stadium in the Championship.
The fans are hoping that Bristol will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Championship game against Rotherham United (placed 20th). Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Blackburn Rovers.
Bristol City's goalkeeper Daniel Bentley was extremely busy against Rotherham United, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning six saves.
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 14 games. Bristol City has won seven of these, drawn three and lost four.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Bristol as they are travelling to their away game against Preston North End in the Championship. That match is three days after this one.
Bristol City aren't scoring a lot here at Ashton Gate Stadium in the league, with only 8 goals from 9 games. Bristol are not conceding a lot of goals here at Ashton Gate Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 7 from 9 matches.
Millwall form and stats
3-3-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Millwall in their Championship matches away. Millwall are desperate to end a ten-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Preston North End fixture. Millwall seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Millwall play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-3 to Middlesbrough (placed 9th). A draw for Millwall before that, at their own venue hosting Queens Park Rangers (1-1).
Millwall lost heavily in their last match (against Middlesbrough as mentioned above) and the damage happened in the first half. Something did not go right in the pre-game preparations.
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 14 relevant matches. Results were five Millwall wins, five draws and four defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Millwall are hosting Nottingham Forest in the Championship only four days away.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Millwall as they have only managed to score 7 times from 9 away games in the league. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (8 so far). It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
