Bluebirds to avoid defeat
Cardiff's only loss in their last four games was against Liverpool, one of the best teams in the world, in the FA Cup; they've done a lot better in the Championship recently, winning three consecutive league games. Millwall, on the other hand, have struggled to win games recently; they have just one win in their last seven games, with a draw and five losses. It's also worth mentioning that Cardiff are unbeaten in their last eight meetings with Millwall: although to be fair, seven of those eight encounters ended in draws. Considering both teams' form, coupled with their tendency to draw when they play each other, we're picking Cardiff to win or draw.
We fancy both sides to net
We have pointed out that both teams have drawn seven of their last eight meetings: we would also like to mention that encounters between these sides have not been one-sided when it comes to scoring goals. Both teams found the net in all of the last six clashes between these sides. Also, both teams have not had too much difficulty conceding goals recently; Cardiff have allowed at least one goal in 28 of their last 30 games, while Millwall have conceded in 11 of their last 14 games. On that note, we're making the prediction that both teams will score.
