Bristol City vs Millwall
📖 The Preview
Millwall come into this one as slight favourites and honestly the head-to-head record backs that up, with the Lions winning four of the last eight meetings between these sides. Bristol City have been inconsistent lately, mixing wins and defeats without much conviction, while Millwall look solid enough to nick something on the road. With both sides expected to keep it tight and goals at a premium, a single away strike looks like the most likely outcome. City are not without a chance, but Millwall edges it.
