No fresh Cardiff injury worries





You'll be looking to get back to winning ways, are there any injuries of note ahead of Millwall?

"Nothing new. We just want to get back. We’re doing alright, we’re playing alright and keep getting better.

"I think if we keep this consistency up then we’ll be alright. Then we’ve got Hull at home the week after. It would be good to see where we are going into the international break."

What are the latest odds?

Millwall - 21/20

Draw - 2/1

Cardiff City - 14/5

Millwall won their last league game against Cardiff in February, last registering consecutive wins over the Bluebirds in victories in 1999 and 2003.



Cardiff have won one of their last 12 away league games against Millwall (D8 L3), a 2-0 win in September 2012 under Malky Mackay.



Cardiff won their last league game in London, beating QPR 2-1 in March. They’ve not won consecutive trips to the capital since September 2012, the second game of which was against Millwall.




After a run of five consecutive victories, Millwall lost their last home league game 1-0 against Reading. They’ve not lost back-to-back league games at the Den since April 2021.




Cardiff have won just one of their last seven away league games (D1 L5), beating already relegated Derby 1-0 on the final day last season.

We have to win this or be dragged down the bottom end although I'm saying a draw but hopefully we nick it

We are missing o dowda big time upfront in both games we won Norwich & brum he was outstanding hurry up back.

WOW WATTERS STARTS / BUT ROBINSON ON BENCH:

Two changes for the #Bluebirds - Romaine Sawyers and Jaden Philogene come into the starting XI!

@CallumRobinson7
wearing number 47, is on the bench!


Rubin Colwill not even on bench

Good side. Watters last start. Bet he scores now.

I'm going 2-0 us.

BLUEBIRDS

Steve Morisons do the Knee , Millwall dont

Its booed

Romeo with an equally poor and late challenge on Vogslammer. Gets away with just a talking to, but that could have been yellow.

First shot on target. Zian Flemming with a curling effort from 25 yards, it's easy for Allsop.

All Millwall

Good ball in, where was Watters?

Cardiff break away and Rinomhota lays it off to Romeo, who hits a lovely first-time cross low and across goal. There should be someone there to tap that in but no one has the wherewithal to make that run. It's a goal kick.

Cardiff first chance with a good cross but no one attacking it.

Another cross, this time from Ojo, does find someone. It's Watters. He chests down well to Philogene, who shifts it on to his right and hits one from the edge of the box, but he is leaning back and it's over the bar.

A ball from Wallace down the channel finds Bradshaw, Ng does well to tackle but it's a Lions throw.

Anyone else watching the live feed? I don't have any commentary, just the crowd noise.

Massive chance and he should score.

Watters with a lovely cross and Philogene bursts into the area and heads at goal, but it's just wide of the post! Best chance of the match so far.

Philogene should put us one up.

Great play by Romeo and Watters in the build up.

Philogene should of scored

Massive chance and he should score.

Watters with a lovely cross and Philogene bursts into the area and heads at goal, but it's just wide of the post! Best chance of the match so far.

We need to put these away.

Great vision by Watters.

Philogene does well again down City's left, forcing a corner after putting in a good cross.
