• Fixture: Millwall vs Southampton
• Date: Saturday, 29 November 2025
• Kick-off: 15:00 GMT
• Venue: The Den

Millwall will look to build on their recent home win against Sheffield Wednesday, where they managed a solid defensive performance. With a predicted 4-2-3-1 formation, they might focus on counter-attacks, leveraging the pace of Ivanović and Emakhu up front. However, their inconsistent form, highlighted by heavy losses away from home, could be a concern against a Southampton side that has been in fine scoring form.

Southampton come into this match with a strong run of victories, showcasing their attacking prowess with multiple goals in recent games. Their 3-4-2-1 setup should allow them to dominate possession and create numerous scoring opportunities, especially with the likes of Scienza and Armstrong leading the line. Given their recent form and the inconsistency of Millwall, Southampton are likely to continue their winning streak.

Millwall's recent form has been a mixed bag, with a notable home win against Sheffield Wednesday providing a boost in confidence. However, their away form has been particularly poor, suffering heavy defeats against Portsmouth and Birmingham. This inconsistency might affect their performance, but the home win could serve as a foundation to build upon.

Recent Championship Results:

• Win: 1-0 vs Sheffield Wednesday (H)
• Loss: 1-3 vs Portsmouth (A)
• Draw: 1-1 vs Preston (H)
• Loss: 0-4 vs Birmingham (A)
• Draw: 2-2 vs Oxford United (A)

Southampton have been in excellent form, securing four consecutive wins after their recent loss to Preston. Their ability to score freely, as seen in their 5-1 victory over Charlton and 3-0 win against Leicester, suggests they are in good shape. This strong run of results should give them the momentum needed to perform well in their upcoming match.

Recent Championship Results:

• Win: 3-0 vs Leicester (H)

• Win: 5-1 vs Charlton (A)

• Win: 3-1 vs Sheffield Wednesday (H)

• Win: 2-1 vs QPR (A)

• Loss: 0-2 vs Preston (H)

The head-to-head record between Millwall and Southampton shows no particular advantage for either side, with one win each in their last two Championship encounters. Millwall managed a victory in their most recent meeting, but Southampton won in the game before that. This pattern suggests that neither have generally been the more dominant in recent matchups.

Millwall's predicted 4-2-3-1 formation will likely see them focus on a solid defensive structure with Crama, Taylor, and Cooper at the back. The attacking trio of Neghli, Emakhu, and Ivanović will be key in exploiting any gaps in Southampton's defence through quick counter-attacks.

• Predicted lineup: Bazunu (GK), Quarshie (DF), Harwood-Bellis (DF), Wood (DF), Fellows (MF), Bragg (MF), Jander (MF), Manning (MF), Scienza (MF), Azaz (MF), Armstrong (AT)

Southampton's 3-4-2-1 setup should allow them to control the midfield with Fellows, Jander, and Manning, while the attacking duo of Azaz and Scienza will support Armstrong up front. This formation will enable them to maintain possession and create numerous scoring opportunities.

• Mihailo Ivanović vs Taylor Harwood-Bellis: Ivanović's pace and finishing will be tested against Harwood-Bellis's defensive solidity.

• Alfie Doughty vs Tom Fellows: Doughty's creativity on the left flank will face a stern challenge from Fellows' work rate and defensive skills.

• Casper De Norre (Millwall): De Norre's role in the midfield will be crucial for Millwall's ability to control the game's tempo.

• Leo Scienza (Southampton): Scienza's creativity and goal-scoring threat will be vital for Southampton's attacking play.
