• Fixture: Oxford United vs Millwall

• Date: Saturday, 01 November 2025

• Venue: Kassam Stadium

Oxford United have shown they can nick a win, like against Sheffield Wednesday and Derby. But they've also had their struggles, losing to Wrexham and Watford. They'll need to be sharp and take their chances against a Millwall side that's been on a roll at home. If Oxford can keep it tight at the back and exploit any gaps, they might just pull off another upset.

Millwall, on the other hand, have been solid at The Den, smashing teams like Leicester and West Brom. Their only hiccup was that thrashing by Coventry, but they've bounced back well. They'll fancy their chances against Oxford, especially with their attacking flair. It could be a close one, but Millwall's overall form might just edge it.

Oxford United have had a mixed bag recently. They've managed to beat Sheffield Wednesday away and Derby at home, showing they can compete with the big boys. But losses to Wrexham and Watford, plus a draw against QPR, suggest they need to be more consistent. If they can bring their A-game, they might just surprise Millwall.

• Win: 2-1 vs Sheffield Wednesday (A)
• Loss: 0-1 vs Wrexham (A)
• Win: 1-0 vs Derby (H)
• Loss: 1-2 vs Watford (A)
• Draw: 0-0 vs QPR (A)

Millwall have been in fine fettle, especially at home. Wins against Leicester, Stoke City, and West Brom show they're a force to be reckoned with. That loss to Coventry was a blip, but they've bounced back strongly. They'll be confident going into this match, looking to keep their winning streak alive at The Den.

• Win: 1-0 vs Leicester (H)
• Win: 2-0 vs Stoke City (H)
• Win: 2-1 vs QPR (A)
• Win: 3-0 vs West Brom (H)

• Predicted lineup: Cumming (GK), Spencer (DF), Davies (DF), Brown (DF), Helik (DF), Currie (DF), De Keersmaecker (MF), Brannagan (MF), Prelec (MF), Krastev (MF), Lankshear (AT)

With Prelec and Lankshear up top, Oxford will look to exploit Millwall's defence with quick counter-attacks. The midfield trio of Keersmaecker, Brannagan, and Krastev will need to control the game and provide service to the forwards.

• Predicted lineup: Crocombe (GK), Leonard (DF), Crama (DF), Cooper (DF), Sturge (DF), Mazou-Sacko (MF), Norre (MF), Azeez (MF), Cundle (MF), Ballo (MF), Ivanović (AT)

Millwall's defence, led by Leonard and Cooper, will aim to keep Oxford's attackers at bay. The midfield, with De Norre and Cundle, will look to dominate possession and feed Ivanović up front.

• Will Lankshear vs Tristan Crama: This will be a key battle between Oxford's sharp attacker and Millwall's impressive defender.

• Brian De Keersmaecker vs Luke Cundle: A midfield duel to watch, with De Keersmaecker's creativity up against Cundle's tenacity.

• Nik Prelec (Oxford United): Prelec's pace and finishing could be crucial for Oxford's chances of scoring.

• Casper De Norre (Millwall): De Norre's control in midfield will be vital for Millwall to dictate the tempo of the game.
