• Fixture: Millwall vs Southampton
• Date: Saturday, 29 November 2025
• Kick-off: 15:00 GMT
• Venue: The Den

Millwall will be looking to build on their recent home win against Sheffield Wednesday, but they face a tough challenge against a Southampton side that's been in scintillating form. The Saints have won four of their last five matches, showcasing their attacking prowess with multiple goals in each victory. Millwall's predicted 4-2-3-1 formation might help them stay compact and hit Southampton on the counter, but they'll need to be clinical in front of goal to stand a chance.

Southampton's 3-4-2-1 setup has been working wonders, allowing them to dominate possession and create numerous scoring opportunities. With players like Leo Scienza and Adam Armstrong leading the line, they'll be confident of breaking down Millwall's defence. However, the Lions have shown they can be resilient at home, so it might not be a walkover. Expect a competitive match, but Southampton's current form suggests they'll come out on top.

Millwall's recent form has been a mixed bag, with a crucial home win against Sheffield Wednesday providing a much-needed boost. However, their away form has been poor, suffering heavy defeats at Portsmouth and Birmingham. The draw against Preston at home shows they can be competitive, but consistency has been their Achilles' heel. They'll need to harness the confidence from their last home game to put up a fight against Southampton.

Recent Championship Results:

• Win: 1-0 vs Sheffield Wednesday (H)
• Loss: 1-3 vs Portsmouth (A)
• Draw: 1-1 vs Preston (H)
• Loss: 0-4 vs Birmingham (A)
• Draw: 2-2 vs Oxford United (A)

Southampton have been in top-notch form, winning four out of their last five matches. Their attacking display has been impressive, scoring three or more goals in three of those victories. The only blemish was a home loss to Preston, but that seems like a minor hiccup given their overall performance. They'll be riding high on confidence and momentum going into this match against Millwall.

Recent Championship Results:

• Win: 3-0 vs Leicester (H)
• Win: 5-1 vs Charlton (A)
• Win: 3-1 vs Sheffield Wednesday (H)
• Win: 2-1 vs QPR (A)
• Loss: 0-2 vs Preston (H)

The head-to-head record between Millwall and Southampton shows no particular edge for either side. Millwall managed a victory in their most recent Championship meeting, but Southampton won at Millwall in the match before that. These games were close, suggesting another tight contest is on the cards.

• Predicted lineup: Crocombe (GK), Crama (DF), Taylor (DF), Cooper (DF), Doughty (DF), De Norre (MF), Cundle (MF), Ballo (MF), Neghli (MF), Emakhu (MF), Ivanović (AT)

Millwall's predicted 4-2-3-1 formation will see them set up with a solid back four, aiming to stay compact and hit Southampton on the break. With Ivanović leading the line and supported by Neghli and Emakhu, they'll look to exploit any gaps in the Saints' defence.

• Predicted lineup: Bazunu (GK), Quarshie (DF), Harwood-Bellis (DF), Wood (DF), Fellows (MF), Bragg (MF), Jander (MF), Manning (MF), Scienza (MF), Azaz (MF), Armstrong (AT)

Southampton's 3-4-2-1 formation should allow them to control the midfield and push forward with numbers. With Scienza and Armstrong up top, they'll look to stretch Millwall's defence and create scoring opportunities through the flanks and central areas.

• Camiel Neghli vs Joshua Quarshie: Neghli's pace and trickery will be tested against Quarshie's defensive solidity.

• Thierno Ballo vs Ryan Manning: Ballo's creativity in midfield will need to outshine Manning's experience and control.

• Mihailo Ivanović (Millwall): Ivanović's goal-scoring prowess will be crucial for Millwall to get anything from this game.

• Leo Scienza (Southampton): Scienza's ability to link play and finish chances will be key to Southampton's success.
