National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Millwall or Bristol City that keep their silverware dream alive.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Millwall and Bristol City.
Millwall form and stats
Last season, Millwall's FA Cup journey ended in the 4th round.Millwall's struggle is real here at The Den with only 10 points collected from 11 Championship games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-7-3. With eight home Championship games in a row without a win, the Millwall fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Luton Town game long ago, can be stopped today.
Millwall are returning here after visiting Huddersfield Town in a Championship game and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Scott Malone scored the goal(s). A Championship defeat was the result before that one, 1-3 away at Nottingham Forest.
The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Millwall handle that role? We have found 13 games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are three wins, six draws and four defeats.
