Millwall continue their push for automatic Premier League promotion as they travel to face Leicester, who were relegated to League One.
Leicester vs Millwall Form and Head to Head
The Foxes enter this fixture in dire form, their 2-2 draw against Hull in their last outing sealing their relegation to League One. This result extends their winless run in the Championship to seven matches. Over their last six games, the home side has managed four draws and two defeats, failing to register a single victory. Their 20th place form rank clearly indicates a severe downturn in performance.
In stark contrast, Millwall arrive with considerable momentum, having secured a convincing 3-1 away win against Stoke in their most recent fixture. This marks their second consecutive victory, propelling them firmly into the automatic promotion race. Over their last six matches, the visitors have recorded three wins, two draws, and just one loss, demonstrating a significantly more robust run of form, reflected in their 5th place form rank.
The most recent encounter between these two sides saw Millwall snatch a narrow 1-0 home victory in the Championship in October 2025. Historically, this fixture has proven tightly contested over the last six meetings, with both teams claiming three victories apiece and no draws, indicating a balanced rivalry regardless of current league standing.

Leicester vs Millwall Match Prediction
Leicester’s relegation to League One was confirmed after they failed to beat Hull despite scoring twice, and their struggles have continued with no wins in their last seven Championship games. Defensive issues remain a major concern, especially against counter-attacks and set pieces.
Millwall, on the other hand, arrive in strong form after a 3-1 away win over Stoke, with second-half goals from Azeez and Coburn sealing the result. Back-to-back victories have kept them firmly in the race for automatic promotion.
With their strength in aerial duels and ability to hit teams on the break, Millwall look well equipped to take advantage of Leicester’s weaknesses. Given the contrast in form and momentum, the visitors appear likely to edge this one.
Prediction: Leicester 1-2 Millwall
