Crystal Palace vs Millwall Stats: Head to Head (H2H)
8 Jan 2022 - FA Cup
Crystal Palace - Millwall: Form Analysis
After a dismal start to the season, Crystal Palace have been playing some of their best football of late, capped off with a thumping 4-1 victory over Aston Villa at home in the league in midweek.
That result marked the Eagles’ fourth win in five games - a period during which they also beat Doncaster Rovers 2-0 on the road in the previous round of this competition.
The hosts’ only home game in the FA Cup was a 1-0 victory over Stockport County, though they have scored in nine consecutive matches at Selhurst Park across all competitions.
Crystal Palace have scored two or more goals in six of their last eight matches!
Meanwhile, Millwall have struggled to find their best form this season, currently in 12th place in the league standings and trailing the playoff places by six points after 34 games.
The Lions beat Dagenham & Redbridge at home and Leeds United away in their two previous rounds in this competition, while maintaining clean sheets in each of those wins.
The visitors have been tough to beat on the road of late, losing only one of their last eight away games across all competitions (W4 D3 L1). They also kept four clean sheets in their last six outings.

Crystal Palace & Millwall Squad Analysis
Oliver Glasner may be tempted to hand Eddie Nketiah a start in this match after the former Arsenal forward came off the bench and scored inside five minutes against Villa at the weekend.
However, Jean-Philippe Mateta has been one of the most in-form forwards in the Premier League lately, having scored four goals and provided an assist in his last four league matches.
Justin Devenny scored in the last round and could be one to watch in this match!
For Millwall, the duo of Jake Cooper and Japhet Tanganga will need to be at their best to deal with the threat posed by the likes of Mateta and Ismaila Sarr this weekend.
Two of Femi Azeez’s three goals this season came against Leeds United in the last round of this competition and he will likely lead the line here alongside the club’s top-scorer Mihailo Ivanovic.

Millwall are as dogged as they come and there’s no doubt they will put up a fight here, but we feel they will struggle to keep out Crystal Palace on their home patch in this one. Our Crystal Palace vs Millwall prediction is Crystal Palace over 1.5.
