Cardiff City aims to prevent a third consecutive Championship defeat as they face Millwall on Saturday. Despite Cardiff holding the 11th position in the table, Millwall, currently in 19th place, has had a mixed start under a new manager.
Cardiff City has encountered consecutive Championship defeats, falling to West Bromwich Albion and Southampton, marking their first back-to-back losses since August. Erol Bulut faces the challenge of revitalizing the team, currently three points away from sixth place and just two points above 14th. Despite a generally positive season, Cardiff needs to address their recent form. Two upcoming home fixtures against struggling Millwall and Birmingham City offer an opportunity to rebound before the demanding Christmas and New Year period. Failing to capitalize on these games would leave Cardiff playing catch-up, given the unlikely scenario of the current top six teams slipping in the standings.
Millwall, under Joe Edwards, sees their proximity of six points below 11th place as a chance to re-enter playoff contention. However, the Lions have struggled, winning just once in their last nine Championship games, with that victory against bottom-placed Sheffield Wednesday. Despite recent setbacks against Coventry City and Ipswich Town, a 1-1 draw against Sunderland provides some stability. Edwards has accumulated four points in his initial four games as Millwall’s manager. With a crucial fixture against Cardiff City and an upcoming trip to Leicester City, this match holds significance in shaping Millwall’s season.
