Hull City

vs

Millwall

Preview

Hull City

• Hull City have won their last two games after beating Derby County 4-2 at home, before following that result up with a 1-0 win at Portsmouth.
• However, Hull’s form at the MKM has been patchy of late, with the Tigers winning one, drawing one and losing two of their last four there.
• At home this campaign, they have won nine, drawn three and lost six of their 18 Championship matches.

Millwall

• Millwall’s away record in the Championship is one of the best in the division this season, with Alex Neil’s men having won eight, drawn five and lost just four of their 17 away fixtures, a record that has helped the Lions sit 3rd in the table with 62 points from 35 games.
• With automatic promotion the target for Neil’s side, the Millwall boss has engineered the Lions into a direct, high-energy team that does what they do best - get the ball into the box.
• They have won their last two games, comfortably beating Birmingham City 3-0 at home and then edging Preston North End 2-0 at their place in midweek, and are well capable of coming to the MKM and putting up a good fight.

Head-to-Head

• Hull are unbeaten in the last five head-to-head meetings between the two sides (Won 3, Drawn 2).
• Millwall have failed to win in their last two visits to this ground.
• Hull beat Neil’s Millwall 3-1 in the Championship two months ago.

Key Players

• Oli McBurnie is leading the line for Hull with 13 Championship goals in 25 appearances.
• Femi Azeez has been a revelation for Millwall in the attacking third, scoring eight and assisting three in his 24 Championship appearances this term.
