Game Prediction
The upcoming match in the Championship on Tuesday will feature Cardiff City and Millwall. The match will take place at the Cardiff City Stadium in Cardiff.
Cardiff
Despite guiding Cardiff City to a 12th place finish last season, first team manager Erol Bulut was relieved of his duties about one week ago following a dismal start to the current Championship season, which saw his team pick up just one point from their six games, leaving them at the bottom of the table.
The Bluebirds made the trip to the A2B Stadium over the weekend under temporary management to lock horns with Hull City and were on the receiving end of a 4-1 defeat. Since a 1-1 draw against rivals. Swansea City on August, the Bluebirds have now suffered five straight defeats across all competitions, including a 5-3 defeat to Southampton in the EFL Cup.
Millwall
Millwall has made a mixed start to the current Championship season (W2, D2, L2), although it has to be said that they are slowly turning over a new leaf. They currently occupy 14th place in the standings and are five points behind the promotion play-off spot.
Neil Harris' team extended their unbeaten run in the league to two games (W1, D1) by recording a comfortable 3-1 win over Preston in front of their home faithful. The Lions will be much relieved to know that their opponent is struggling Cardiff, whom they have not lost to in the last 11 encounters (W7, D4), and will fancy their chances of picking up another three points.
