• Fixture: Birmingham City vs Millwall

Birmingham City's up and down form could make this a tricky one. They've shown they can score big at home, like that 4-0 thrashing of Portsmouth, but also crumble under pressure, as seen in the loss to Hull. Their attack, led by Ducksch, will need to be sharp to break down Millwall's solid defence.

Millwall, on the other hand, are coming in hot with a string of wins and a draw. Their defence, anchored by Cooper, has been tough to crack, and their attack has been clinical. This game could be tight, but Millwall's recent form suggests they might just edge it.

Birmingham City's recent results show a team that can be unpredictable. They've had big wins, like the 4-0 against Portsmouth, but also some disappointing losses, such as the 2-3 defeat to Hull at home. This inconsistency could play a role in their performance against Millwall, where they'll need to be at their best to get a result.

• Loss: 0-1 vs Bristol City (A)
• Win: 1-0 vs Preston North End (A)
• Loss: 2-3 vs Hull City (H)
• Draw: 1-1 vs Wrexham (A)

Millwall are in fine form, with four wins and a draw in their last five games. They've been solid at the back and effective up front, as seen in their 3-0 win over West Brom. This momentum could be crucial against Birmingham, where they'll look to continue their winning streak.

Recent Championship Results:

• Draw: 2-2 vs Oxford United (A)
• Win: 1-0 vs Leicester City (H)
• Win: 2-0 vs Stoke City (H)

The head-to-head record between Birmingham City and Millwall shows a closely contested rivalry. In their last five meetings, both teams have had their moments, with Millwall winning the most recent encounter 1-0, while Birmingham secured a victory in a 2023 match.
