Our prediction for this Championship match:
Saturday’s football game at Kassam Stadium pits together Oxford United and Millwall, the two sides sitting in the opposite halves of the table. The Yellows aim to put an end to their three-game losing run and we are positive that they will leave their hearts on the field this time out. Fit-again forward Matt Phillips is pushing for his first start since August 24, 2024, while the likes of Bennett, Dembele, and Edwards are out of contention with injuries.
The Lions, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous eight league fixtures and they are surely capable of making life difficult for Oxford United. Considering that the Yellows have been struggling at the back of late, conceding nine goals in total in the last two league matches, there is a big value in betting on the capital club. Femi Azeez is widely expected to return to Millwall’s starting XI after scoring as a substitute in the midweek draw with Sunderland.
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).
