Our prediction for this Championship match:
There will be fireworks when Millwall and Birmingham City square off against each other in the relegation six-pointer at the Den. The Lions have been in a fine form of late, with the team beating both Southampton and Watford, while sharing the spoils with Blackburn Rovers, but their Championship status is still in great danger. Republic of Ireland forward Michael Obafemi should be recalled to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in the midweek draw, while both Shaun Hutchinson and Kevin Nisbet remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Blues, on the other hand, have been struggling at the back of late, with the team conceding eight goals in total in the last three league matches and that is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. The good news for the visitors is that Dion Sanderson is back from suspension, but both Krystian Bielik and Alfie Chang continue to miss out with injuries.
Highlighted Team (Millwall):
Based in Bermonsdey, South East London, Millwall are a football club whose supporters have often been associated with hooliganism. West Ham United are considered the club’s biggest rivals and there have always been fireworks in clashes between the two teams.
The Lions share rivalry with Charlton as well and the two teams first met back in 1921. The Den is Milwall’s home ground at the capacity of the stadium, which was opened in 1993, is 20.146.
The capital club did well to make it to the 2003/2004 FA Cup final, but Premier League giants Manchester United proved to be a big catch for the Lions. The Red Devils won the game 3-0, but despite suffering the heavy loss in the title game, Milwall booked their place in the UEFA Cup. However, Ferencvaros of Hungary proved to be a big catch for the English outfit in the two-legged tie.
Australia international Tim Cahill is considered one of the most notable footballers who whore Millwall shirt (1998-2004).
