Millwall vs Cardiff Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

Prediction published on 13/04/2024, 01:15  by Matthew Newman in Championship Predictions

A huge game in the Championship for Millwall on Saturday as they host Cardiff. They eased their relegation worries on Tuesday with a 1-0 win over Leicester. That is their third 1-0 win in their last four at The Den so they are keeping things especially tight at home of late. They have been streaky but are hitting form at the right time to make sure that they have another year of Championship action next season. Zian Flemming is their top scorer this campaign but he has only managed to score eight in all competitions and has not scored in their last seven matches. Ryan Longman has scored their last two goals but that only takes his tally on the season to three. They had a pair of 15-goal scorers last season but might not even get one into double figures this time around.

Cardiff have picked up just a point less on the road than they have at home, a record that has them tucked safely in midtable. They have three wins in their last four away matches, a 1-0 win at Bristol City, a 2-1 success at Coventry and a 1-0 decision over Birmingham on Wednesday evening. They restricted the hosts to a single shot on target midweek, the defence stepping up more than they had in a home loss to Hull last weekend. That 2-1 Coventry win is the only time they have scored more than one away from home since a victory at QPR on New Year's Day and both of their markers that day were own goals so they are struggling for offence away from home.
