Team News and Tactical Insights
Millwall’s Resilience vs Fulham’s Flair
Millwall’s physicality and set-piece prowess (led by Saville’s 12-point-winning goals) contrast sharply with Fulham’s possession-based style. Key absences:
- Millwall: Byron Webster (knee) is out, but Ben Thompson (ankle) could return.
- Fulham: Floyd Ayité (hamstring) and Sheyi Ojo (knock) are sidelined. Expect Ryan Sessegnon—the Championship’s top-scoring teen (14 goals)—to start on the left wing.
Historical Context
- Millwall haven’t beaten Fulham at home since 1982 (D3 L1 in last four meetings).
- Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanović has a perfect 3-0 record against Millwall across spells with Watford and Fulham.
Expert Predictions and Betting Odds
David Prutton’s Take (EFL pundit):
“Both teams are on fire. Millwall’s home record (1 loss in 13 Friday matches) and Fulham’s 15-game unbeaten run make this a toss-up. I’m calling a 2-2 draw, with Steve Morison to score first.”
