Millwall were no doubt feeling good after the opening round of this brand new Championship season, as they instantly claimed a first win.

Millwall took down Bristol City in their most recent meeting, and bookmakers deem another win for the home side a likely scenario this coming Saturday.

Millwall vs Bristol City Prediction

Millwall Form

Millwall lost two of their last three matches, as they went down 4-3 in a meeting with Blackburn. They replied by beating Middlesbrough 0-1, before losing again, this time 4-0 against Reading. In their last six Championship home matches, Millwall have two wins, while they've drawn one and lost three. They scored seven and conceded seven goals.

A top half finish is the dream target for Bristol City, although retaining their Championship status has to be the priority.

Bristol City Form

Bristol City are unbeaten in their last three matches, first beating Queens P.R. by 0-2. This was followed by a 1-1 with Preston and a 5-1 win against Oxford. Bristol City won twice, while also recording zero draws, and four defeats in their last six away matches in the Championship. The scoreline from these matches says seven goals conceded and four scored.

Finishing somewhere in mid-table will probably be satisfactory for Bristol City, who aim to keep the relegation line at a distance in the Championship.

Both Millwall and Bristol City are having a hard time finding their way to the net. With the teams clashing in this round 2, we find a low scoring match is the natural pick.
