Saturday 6-12-25 3:00pm

A tough tough game this Millwall are flying last six games won 2 drawn 2 lost 2 -Bristol City won 2 drawn 1 lost 3 not good,

This is a game that could go either way Millwall having a better last 6 games than us. The last six meeting Bristol City have won 3 Millwall won 2 and a draw.

Personally i would love to see 2 up front with Riss and Armstrong taking it to Millwall. We looked really dangerous when they spearheaded the front line.

Predictions -

sports mole-
Bristol City and Millwall square off at Ashton Gate on Saturday afternoon with just two points separating the teams in the Championship table.

The sixth-placed hosts are adrift of the opponents who are in third position, and there is an opportunity for both to end the day inside the top two if a number of results go their way.

Match preview
With inconsistency having crept into their game since the start of September, Gerhard Struber will remain delighted that Bristol City sit in the top six of the standings.

Despite winning just two of their last six games, the Robins are only four points adrift of the automatic promotion spots ahead of playing three of their next four matches at Ashton Gate.

Although there was disappointment in losing 2-0 at a resurgent Wrexham, victories have been posted against Swansea City and Portsmouth with clean sheets kept in the process.

Just four goals have been conceded in the five fixtures since a 5-1 reverse at Stoke City, giving Bristol City the joint-sixth best defensive record in the division.

Their home form is also on an upward trajectory with three wins having been recorded from their last four outings on familiar territory.
Millwall's Championship form has followed a similar pattern to their hosts with Alex Neil's side having gone through the bulk of November without a win.

However, the Lions concluded the penultimate month of 2025 with back-to-back victories over Sheffield Wednesday and Southampton.

Given the form of the latter, that 3-2 triumph goes down as one of their most notable of this campaign, and Millwall now have 19 points from their 10 fixtures at The Den.

Only two defeats have come in eight away fixtures, yet Millwall make the trip to Bristol having won just one of their last six such encounters.

That came at Queens Park Rangers on October 18, Millwall having since conceded nine times across a triple-header at Oxford United, Birmingham City and Portsmouth.

We say: Bristol City 2-1 Millwall
With both teams inconsistent when it comes to their respective home and away fixtures, this is a difficult match to predict. However, Bristol City getting back to winning ways last time out may prove key, leaving us to predict a narrow home victory.

“A play-off six-pointer”: Bristol City vs Millwall predictions
The72’s writers offer their Bristol City vs Millwall predictions ahead of the upcoming Championship clash on Saturday.
Bristol City host Millwall on Saturday at Ashton Gate in their upcoming Championship clash.
Bristol City come into the weekend’s fixture against Millwall off the back of a solid win against Portsmouth at Fratton Park. The Robins amended their loss against Wrexham in their previous match.Gerhard Struber’s side sit 6th in the Championship table and are only four points behind the automatic spots. They will be looking to make the play-offs in consecutive terms.
The Robins won their last match at Ashton Gate thanks to a standout performance from Anis Mehmeti. The Albanian international is in form at the moment, and it was his goal that earned his side all three points last weekend.

Their opponents, Millwall, travel to Bristol City after securing two home wins. The Lions most recently defeated Southampton 3-2 after a last-minute goal from Tristan Crama sealed the victory.

Alex Neil’s side are 3rd in the table and just two points off Middlesbrough in 2nd. The South London outfit’s away form has been far from perfect as of late, however.
The Lions are winless in their last three away games and have conceded nine goals over those matches. Neil’s side were unbeaten as visitors up until the 4-0 thrashing to Birmingham City at the start of November.

Here, a handful of our writers make their predictions for the game…
Euan Walsh
Bristol City haven’t been the greatest at home this season, despite an overall strong campaign. Struber has done well in place of Liam Manning, and his side has shown glimpses of being a top side in the Championship.

Millwall seem to have resolved their form at The Den, but their away record has taken a hit. The Lions must come away from the game with something in what is likely to be a play-off six-pointer.
“I think either side has enough quality to win the game, but I’ll go for a draw with the shares being spoiled. Femi Azeez and Mehmeti will be an exciting match-up to watch.”


Prediction: Bristol City 1-1 Millwall

James Ray
“This is a really intriguing matchup towards the top of the Championship table. Neither Bristol City or Millwall have been in consistent form of late, but the same goes for just about everyone in the play-off picture.

“The top six is there for the taking this season, so both bosses will be eager to stress the importance of this game on their players.

“The Robins will be out to turn Ashton Gate into a fortress again after some patchy form of late, especially given the visitors’ underwhelming record on the road. However, I do see more paths to victory for the away side.

“It’s a tough one to call, but with back-to-back wins to their name, I’m going for a Millwall triumph.”

Prediction: Bristol City 1-2 Millwall

I’m making the journey down from my bedroom for this one - with Mrs R&W.
It’s SOO difficult to call. As per the match thread comments both teams have been inconsistent. There’s such a fine margin for error. One mistake could gift/earn 3 points.
I’ll go for a 2-1 win for us but that’s more hope than expectation.

Who wants it more and players producing will be key.
 
Train was absolutely rammed.
Lots of Millwall fans on the train. Spoke to a few of them. My goodness what an uncouth bunch of foul mouthed, unfiltered piss-takers. 30-50 year old blokes who’d been on the Stella since 8am acting like 13-year-olds.
They were actually quite friendly - just every other word a swear word. Had a good football chat with them once I could decipher what they were saying through the swearing!!
Not surprised they attract trouble.
 
My perception is we always struggle against Millwall, not checked statistics but that’s my feeling, they bully us. I think this is going to be a tough game, I’d be happy with a point, although we really need all three to keep the pressure on, and remain near the top of the table,

The Millwall fans on the train said (between swear words) that they had a terrible record against us.
 
Interesting, Knight didn’t even make the squad last game, today he starts, there must be a reason to the madness I guess
 
What’s the point in having Meerholz on the bench?, whilst naming Cornick is also a waste of a space it’s hardly preventing his development, whereas Meerholz is a young lad who surely would be better off getting game time at this time of his career. Call me old fashioned, but I don’t see the point in so many subs, many of which are never going to be used.
 
This is getting ridiculous -we are playing pretty football with plenty of possesion but not scoring at home when in total control of the game-there is to much trying to walk the ball into the net-Mr Struber far to many home points being given away -Millwall were a very poor side yet we did not score can’t even remember their keeper having to make a save in the first half.
Again you could see they grew in confidence in the second half and were the ones likely to put the ball in the net which they did.
This pattern has happened to many times this season.
We need some real quality in the January window up front- what we have up is no where near good enough to get this football club into the premiership.
Goals win games having possession of the ball does not.

Found footage myself.
It would appear that their manager told Struber to F-off and slapped his handshake away. Knight reacted with a push and was subsequently grabbed by the neck - then everyone piled in.

Fines and bans incoming…….
It looked very unsavoury on Sky
Mid table (or lower) obscurity beckons for us, as the likes of Ipswich, Southampton and Leicester appear to have finally woken up
