The home side enters this match after a victory in their season opener against Norwich City, winning 2-1.

They have won 6, drawn 2, and lost 2 of their last 10 home matches across all competitions. The team has consistently found the net, scoring in every one of their last 10 games.

Millwall enters this match following a narrow victory, 0-1, in their away match against Newport County in the 1st EFL Cup 2025/26 round. In their last Championship outing, they managed to defeat Norwich 1-2. When playing at home, the team, managed by Alex Neil, is likely to maintain a 4-3-3 formation, with Azeez, Camiel Neghli, and Mihailo Ivanovic likely leading the attack. Millwall tends to favour attacking down the right flank, leveraging the runs of full-back Tristan Crama to create unpredictability and depth in their play. All players are available for this fixture.
