Our prediction for this Championship match:
The Den will host Saturday’s football game between Millwall and Southampton, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. The Lions aim to put an end to their four-game winless run, but they will have a big fish to fry against the promotion-chasing Saints. All Ryan Leonard, Duncan Watmore, Shaun Hutchinson, and Matija Sarkic are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Southampton, on the other hand, faced no difficulties in a 3-1 win over Birmingham City and seeing that they are eager to keep their automatic promotion hopes alive, we are tempted to put our money on the visitors. All Jack Stephens, Juan Larios, and Ross Stewart are out of contention with injuries, but they should be the only absentees in the visiting team ahead of the trip to London.
Highlighted Team (Southampton):
Southampton are an English football club that have been playing their home games at St Mary's Stadium since 2001. The Saints were based at The Dell in the past and the capacity of Southampton’s new stadium is 32,505. Southampton wear red and white striped shirts and the colour of the team’s away kit is navy and green.
The Saints have yet to win the Premier League trophy, but they did well to clinch the FA Cup title back in 1976, while participating in the final of the prestigious competition in 1900, 1902 and 2003. Southampton outplayed Manchester United in the 1976 FA Cup final and that is probably the club’s greatest victory ever.
The club are well known for their football academy and Real Madrid superstar Gareth Bale is one of the players who began their football carrier at the St. Mary’s Stadium outfit. Southampton’s fiercest rivals are Portsmouth and the two teams square off against each other in the South Coast Derby.
