Millwall – Southampton

Millwall host Southampton in what promises to be a striking clash between the league’s mid‑table side and the current runners‑up. The Lions sit 13th with nine points from three wins and three defeats, their goal tally perfectly balanced at 11‑11, while the Saints sit second on 14 points after four victories, two draws and a single loss, boasting a healthy +10 goal difference (18‑8). Having already met twice this season, Southampton have the edge in the head‑to‑head, but Millwall’s home advantage could make the encounter tighter than the table suggests. Both teams will be keen to use the result to cement their positions – Millwall to climb out of the lower half and Southampton to keep pace with the leaders.
