Our prediction for this Championship match:
Southampton will be aiming to make amends for an unexpected 2-1 loss to Hull City when they face Millwall in yet another home fixture. The Saints are eyeing automatic Premier League promotion and you should bear in mind that they have already recorded 11 wins at their St. Mary’s Stadium this term. Nigeria midfielder Joe Aribo, who scored as a substitute in the midweek defeat, is pushing for a start, while all Bree, Downes, Larios, and Stewart should miss out with injuries.
The Lions, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team extending their losing run to four games against fellow relegation strugglers Sheffield Wednesday and given Southampton's impressive track record at home, we do not believe that the underdogs are capable of claiming a major scalp on Matchday 34. As for Millwall, Brooke Norton-Cuffy is pushing for a start, while Kevin Nisbet remains on the sidelines with a long-term injury.
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.
