Cardiff have a had a frustrating return to Championship, following their relegation from the Premier League last year, but they could end the season on a high.
After Millwall, the Bluebirds face bottom of the table Blackpool and fellow mid-table side Nottingham Forest as they look to leave their supporters optimistic ahead the 2015-2016 campaign.
Cardiff's home form is a cause for concern though as they have won just one of their last eight in front of their own supporters, and lost 3-0 to Bolton Wanderers on Easter Monday.
They hit back with a 2-1 win away at Leeds United in their next game, but lost 3-1 to Ipswich Town last time out.
Their patchy form is typical of a mid-table side, but if they can pick up some solid points between now and the end of the season then they may be able to climb from their current position of 13th into the top half.
Promotion will the target for Russell Slade next year, and he will be keen to improve his squad over the summer to build a side which is capable of competing for a return to the Premier League.

Millwall may be the marginal favourites to win this game, despite their torrid season which has left them in serious danger of going down to League One.
However, momentum does funny things in football and the Lions will be buoyed by their 2-0 victory over Wigan Athletic on Tuesday which has given them a chance of preserving their Championship status.
Victory in South Wales would put the Lions just two points behind Rotherham United, who occupy 21st in the league, and the Millers don't play this weekend.
Their scheduled game with Reading has been arranged as the Royals play Arsenal in the FA Cup semi-finals on Saturday afternoon.
However, if Millwall are going to go overtake them in the league then victory at Cardiff is essential as they finish the season with games against top-half side Blackburn Rovers, and playoff hopefuls Derby County and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
They have lost just one of their last five games, but haven't won away from home since they beat Birmingham City 1-0 in February.
