Millwall vs Bristol City prediction, preview, team news and more | EFL Championship 2021-22

Millwall host Bristol City at The Den in the EFL Championship on Wednesday, with both sides having contrasting starts to their seasons so far.

Millwall are currently 19th in the league and are winless in their last five games across all competitions. Gary Rowett’s side will be heading into the game off the back of a 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest last time out and will look to improve on the result when they take on Bristol City on Wednesday.

Bristol City, on the other hand, are currently ninth in the league and are unbeaten in their last five games. Nigel Pearson’s side will know that a win could potentially take them into the top six and will hope to do so against a poor Millwall side on Wednesday.

Both teams are looking to climb up the table and that should make Wednesday’s fixture a well-contested matchup.

Millwall vs Bristol City Head-to-Head

Millwall have dominated the recent head-to-head record between the two sides, winning three of their last five meetings, with Bristol City winning only one.

Millwall demolished Bristol City 4-1 the last time the two sides met back in May. Goals from Jed Wallace, Scott Malone, Billy Mitchell and Tom Bradshaw were enough to secure Millwall the win, while Tommy Conway scored a consolation goal for Bristol City on the night.
