• Fixture: Bristol City vs Millwall

• Date: Saturday, 06 December 2025

• Kick-off: 15:00 GMT

• Venue: Ashton Gate

Bristol City will look to build on their recent victory against Portsmouth as they host Millwall. With a solid defensive performance in their last win and the attacking threat posed by Twine and Riis, Bristol City could dominate possession and create numerous scoring opportunities. However, they must be wary of Millwall's ability to score, as evidenced by their recent win against Southampton.

Millwall, coming off a strong home performance, will aim to exploit any defensive lapses from Bristol City. Their recent results show they can be unpredictable, with high-scoring games both for and against them. If Millwall can maintain their attacking momentum and tighten up at the back, they could pose a significant challenge to Bristol City's home advantage.

Match Prediction: Bristol City 2-1 Millwall

Bristol City's recent form has been a mixed bag, with two wins, one draw, and two losses in their last five games. Their most recent victory, away at Portsmouth, will give them a boost in confidence, especially as it was a clean sheet. However, the loss to Wrexham and the draw against Watford suggest they need to be more consistent to secure a positive result against Millwall.

Recent Championship Results:

• Win: 1-0 vs Portsmouth (A)

• Loss: 0-2 vs Wrexham (A)

• Win: 3-0 vs Swansea City (H)

• Draw: 1-1 vs Watford (A)

• Loss: 0-1 vs Blackburn Rovers (H)

Millwall have shown they can be a force to be reckoned with, securing two wins in their last five games, including a thrilling 3-2 victory over Southampton at home. However, their form has been inconsistent, with a heavy defeat to Birmingham and a loss to Portsmouth indicating vulnerabilities. If Millwall can harness their attacking prowess while shoring up their defence, they could pose a real threat to Bristol City.

Recent Championship Results:

• Win: 3-2 vs Southampton (H)

• Win: 1-0 vs Sheffield Wednesday (H)

• Loss: 1-3 vs Portsmouth (A)

• Draw: 1-1 vs Preston North End (H)

• Loss: 0-4 vs Birmingham City (A)

The head-to-head record between Bristol City and Millwall has been relatively closely contested in recent matches. Bristol City have won three of the last five encounters, including a convincing 4-3 home victory in August 2024. Millwall managed a narrow 1-0 win on their visit to Bristol City in January 2024. The most recent match saw Bristol City triumph 2-0 away at Millwall, suggesting they might have the upper hand going into this fixture.

• Predicted lineup: Vitek (GK), Vyner (DF), Dickie (DF), Tanner (DF), McCrorie (MF), Randell (MF), Sykes (MF), Borges (MF), Twine (MF), Mehmeti (AT), Riis (AT)

Bristol City are expected to line up in a 3-4-1-2 formation, with Vitek in goal and a back three of Tanner, Dickie, and Vyner. This setup should allow Sykes and Randell to control the midfield, providing a solid base for Twine to operate behind the strikers Riis and Mehmeti, who will look to exploit any gaps in Millwall's defence.

• Predicted lineup: Crocombe (GK), Crama (DF), Cooper (DF), Taylor (DF), McNamara (DF), Kelly (MF), Norre (MF), Azeez (MF), Bangura-Williams (MF), Emakhu (MF), Ivanovic (AT)

Millwall are likely to deploy a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Crocombe between the posts and a back four of Crama, Taylor, Cooper, and an unnamed defender. This formation should enable Norre and Kelly to anchor the midfield, allowing Azeez, Bangura-Williams, and Emakhu to support the lone striker Ivanovic in attack.

• Twine vs Norre: Twine's creativity will be tested against Norre's defensive solidity.

• Borges vs Azeez: Borges' technical ability will be crucial against Azeez's dynamic play.

• McCrorie (Bristol City): McCrorie's ability to dictate the tempo from midfield will be vital for Bristol City.

• Norre (Millwall): Norre's role in breaking up play and distributing the ball will be key for Millwall.
