Millwall are steadily winning Championship games and points here at The Den. 7 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats is the summary from 11 games. Millwall have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

It's back home for Millwall, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Watford away with the result 2-0. Voglsammer and Flemming found the net in that victory. Midfielder Voglsammer was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.21 (out of ten) in that game. Voglsammer scored one goal, hit the woodwork once, hit four key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Wigan Athletic.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Millwall have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 11 games) they have won 7 times, drawn 3 and lost 1.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Championship game versus Rotherham United in only three days. This game is also played here at The Den.
