Our prediction for this Championship match:
MKM Stadium will host Monday’s football game between Hull City and Millwall, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. Hull City are on a five-game winless run, with the team heading into the match following a thrilling 4-4 draw with Sunderland. Barring any fresh injury worries, boss Liam Rosenior is unlikely to make changes to the team that shared the spoils with the Black Cats on Friday.
The Lions, on the other hand, have been struggling in front of goal of late, with the team failing to find the net in the previous three league fixtures. Anyhow, away win should be considered as the playoffs-chasing visitors want this win more than the hosts. As for the away team, all Charlie Cresswell, Mason Bennett, Tyler Burey, and Callum Styles remain in the treatment room. Gary Rowett should stick to the 4-2-3-1 formation.
