Millwall 1-0 Leicester City: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Ladbrokes' post-match review of Millwall 1-0 Leicester City in the Championship on Saturday, 25 October 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Well, what a result for Millwall, eh? They've gone and nicked a 1-0 win against Leicester City right at home, and it's a result that's got everyone talking. The Lions have been on a bit of a roll lately, with four wins in their last five, and this victory just cements their fine form. Leicester, on the other hand, are struggling to find their feet, with this loss marking their third game without a win. The key moment came just before half-time when Millwall scored, and that proved to be the difference. A solid performance from the home side, and you've got to say, they deserved it.

Leicester will be scratching their heads after this one. They had more of the ball, but couldn't turn possession into goals. Millwall, though, were clinical when it mattered, and that's what counts at the end of the day. This result might not have been a complete shock given Millwall's recent form, but it's certainly a statement win. They've extended their winning streak, and you can bet they'll be buzzing going into their next match.

Looking at the stats, you'd think Leicester might have had the upper hand, but football's not always about possession, is it? They had 53% of the ball and more corners, but it was Millwall who made it count with that crucial goal. The Lions also had a penalty, which they converted, showing their efficiency in front of goal. Leicester's higher dribble success rate didn't translate into the result they wanted, and those two yellow cards might have disrupted their rhythm a bit.

It's interesting to see how the stats don't always tell the full story. Millwall's lower possession and fewer corners didn't stop them from securing the win. They made the most of their opportunities, and that's what mattered in the end. Leicester will need to look at how they can be more clinical in front of goal if they want to turn their fortunes around.

The game's turning point came right at the 44th minute when Millwall found the back of the net. That goal just before half-time was a real sucker punch for Leicester, and it set the tone for the rest of the match. Millwall managed to hold on to their lead, showing great defensive resilience and discipline.

There were no other key moments listed, but that single goal was enough to decide the match. It's a testament to Millwall's ability to seize the moment and make it count. Leicester had their chances, but couldn't break through, and that's football for you – sometimes it's all about taking your opportunities.

Millwall lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, and it worked a treat for them. No real surprises in the starting XI, with Max Crocombe in goal and a solid backline of Leonard, Crama, Cooper, and Sturge. The midfield was anchored by Mazou-Sacko and De Norre, with Azeez, Cundle, and Ballo providing the creativity behind Ivanovic up top.

The impact of the substitutions wasn't detailed, but the starting lineup did the job. Femi Azeez was particularly impressive, scoring the crucial goal that secured the win. Millwall's formation and lineup choices paid off, and they'll be looking to build on this performance.

Leicester went with a 4-2-3-1 as well, but it didn't quite click for them. Stolarczyk was between the sticks, with a defence of Pereira, Okoli, Vestergaard, and Thomas. The midfield duo of James and Winks tried to control the game, with Fatawu, Ramsey, and Monga supporting Ayew up front.

No standout performances or surprises in the lineup, but the team as a whole couldn't find the breakthrough they needed. The substitutions didn't change the game's outcome, and Leicester will need to regroup and find a way to turn their possession into points.

Femi Azeez takes home the Ladbrokes' Man of the Match award, and rightly so. He scored the only goal of the game, which proved to be the difference between the two sides. While he didn't have any assists or create big chances, his goal was crucial, and that's what counts at the end of the day. A well-deserved accolade for Azeez.
