Cardiff vs Millwall prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - October 1, 2024
One of the matches of the 8th round of the Championship will take place in Cardiff, where Cardiff City will host Millwall at the Cardiff City Stadium. Here’s the expert prediction from Dailysports.
Cardiff
The "Bluebirds" struggled last season, failing to mount a serious challenge for promotion to the Premier League, finishing mid-table in the Championship. However, the new season has been even more disastrous for the Welsh side. After seven rounds, Cardiff City sits at the bottom of the table with just one point.
In their most recent match, Cardiff suffered a heavy 1-4 defeat away to Hull City, marking their fourth consecutive loss in this Championship campaign. At home, Cardiff has played three games but has yet to secure any points from them.
Millwall
The "Lions" finished last season strongly, winning their last five consecutive matches. Despite this impressive finish, Millwall narrowly missed out on the playoff spots. In the current season, Millwall has also struggled with consistency, currently sitting in 15th place.
In their most recent match, Millwall defeated Preston 3-1 at home, securing their second win in the last four rounds of the Championship, along with one defeat during this period. In their three away matches this season, Millwall has drawn twice (against QPR and Hull) and lost to Bristol City.
