Our prediction for this Championship match:
Millwall play host to Plymouth at The Den on day 11 of the new Championship campaign. The Lions have been involved in some low-scoring games of late, with the team struggling up front, but they are surely capable of finding the net against Plymouth. Summer signing Mihailo Ivanovic is pushing for his first start of the season after scoring as a substitute in a 1-1 draw with Derby, while the likes of Tom Bradshaw, Josh Coburn, and Billy Mitchell remain in the recovery room.
The Pilgrims, on the other hand, continue with their old habit of struggling on the travels and given their four-game losing run on the road (all competitions), home win should be considered. In their last meeting in the suburbs of London Millwall defeated Plymouth 1-0 thanks to Jake Cooper’s goal. Ibrahim Cissoko is banned for the visitors following his sending-off in a heavy 5-0 loss at Cardiff.
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).
