Millwall have played 15 Championship games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 8-4-3 (wins-draws-losses).

J. Wallace was the last player to score a league goal for Millwall and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Millwall haven't scored in 247 minutes.

The Millwall fans got no joy from their last match, a Championship game also here at The Den: A 0-2 defeat against West Bromwich Albion (placed 1st). Before that, Millwall played out a draw 0-0 when visiting Sheffield Wednesday.

The manager G. Rowett will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Preston North End in only three days.

A decent goal production from Millwall in their home games so far, with 23 goals from 15 league matches. Millwall have conceded 16 in these home matches.

A new game in only three days for Fulham, the Championship home match versus Barnsley. Busy days.

Fulham have scored 17 goals on their travels this season, from 15 away games in the league. It's not easy to score on Fulham as they have only conceded 14 goals from these away games.
