Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Cardiff City in 16th and Millwall in 15th place.
- Cardiff City have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- 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.
Cardiff City form and stats
When playing at home in the Championship, Cardiff City have managed 4 wins, 2 draws and suffered 7 defeats from 13 games. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Cardiff with their six defeats in a row. Not since the Birmingham City game, 44 days ago, have they avoided a loss. With Cardiff City having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager N. Harris.
Cardiff faced defeat in their previous match, away at Barnsley (0-1). Preceding that match was a defeat to Queens Park Rangers (0-1).
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Cardiff City have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 13 matches with the results: Won two, drawn five and lost six.
Cardiff has scored 19 league goals at home this season, in 13 matches. Cardiff's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 17 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

187 minutes! That's how long the Millwall goalkeeper Bartosz Bialkowski and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Millwall delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Watford (placed 2nd) in their previous match; a Championship game. A 0-3 loss hosting Bristol City before that.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 15 similar matches played by Millwall in our archives, and the results are: six wins for Millwall, five draws and four defeats.
After this away game Millwall return home for a Championship game against Norwich City. That game is only three sleeps after this.
