• Fixture: Bristol City vs Millwall

• Date: Saturday, 06 December 2025

• Kick-off: 15:00 GMT

• Venue: Ashton Gate

Bristol City come into this match with a mixed bag of results, but their recent win against Portsmouth on the road should give them a boost of confidence. With a predicted 3-4-1-2 formation, they'll look to exploit the wings with Mehmeti and Riis up top, supported by Twine in the attacking midfield role. The midfield battle will be crucial, with Randell and Borges needing to control the tempo against Millwall's energetic midfield.

Millwall, on the other hand, have shown they can be a force at home, as evidenced by their recent wins against Southampton and Sheffield Wednesday. Their 4-2-3-1 setup should allow them to press high and create chances through Azeez and Norre in midfield. However, their away form has been less convincing, which might give Bristol City an edge. This match could be a tight affair, with both teams looking to capitalise on their strengths.

Bristol City's recent form has been a bit of a rollercoaster, with two wins, a draw, and two losses in their last five matches. Their most recent victory against Portsmouth away from home should give them a confidence boost heading into this match. However, the loss to Wrexham and the draw against Watford might make them wary of underestimating their opponents. They'll need to find consistency to build momentum and secure a positive result here.

Recent Championship Results:

• Win: 1-0 vs Portsmouth (A)
• Loss: 0-2 vs Wrexham (A)
• Win: 3-0 vs Swansea City (H)
• Draw: 1-1 vs Watford (A)
• Loss: 0-1 vs Blackburn Rovers (H)

Millwall have had a strong run at home, winning their last two matches against Southampton and Sheffield Wednesday. This should give them plenty of confidence going into this game. However, their away form has been less impressive, with a loss to Portsmouth and a heavy defeat to Birmingham City. They'll need to find a way to translate their home form to the road if they want to come away with a positive result against Bristol City.

Recent Championship Results:

• Win: 3-2 vs Southampton (H)
• Win: 1-0 vs Sheffield Wednesday (H)
• Loss: 1-3 vs Portsmouth (A)
• Draw: 1-1 vs Preston North End (H)
• Loss: 0-4 vs Birmingham City (A)

Bristol City's predicted 3-4-1-2 formation begins with Vyner, Tanner and Dickie in the backline. The wing-backs McCrorie and Borges will look to offer support in both defence and attack, with Randell and Sykes offering stability in midfield. Mehmeti and Riis look set to start in attack, while Twine will feature in the attacking midfield role.

• Predicted lineup: Crocombe (GK), Crama (DF), Cooper (DF), Taylor (DF), McNamara (DF), Kelly (MF), Norre (MF), Azeez (MF), Bangura-Williams (MF), Emakhu (MF), Ivanovic (AT)

Millwall's predicted 4-2-3-1 formation should enable them to press high and control the midfield. With Kelly and Norre in the middle, they'll look to dictate the tempo and create chances for Ivanovic up front.

• Mehmeti vs Cooper: Mehmeti's pace and dribbling skills will be tested against Cooper's defensive solidity.
• Randell vs Norre: Randell's ability to control the midfield will be crucial against Norre's energetic pressing.
