The tension is palpable as Millwall prepare to host Hull in the second leg of their Championship play-off semi-final. With everything to play for after a goalless first encounter, this crucial fixture kicks off on Monday, 11th May 2026, at 8:00 PM BST. The Lions will be looking to capitalise on home advantage to secure their place in the final, while the visitors aim to break their recent away form woes and spring a surprise.
Millwall vs Hull Form
Millwall arrive at this decisive fixture on the back of a goalless draw in the first leg against Hull, a result that keeps the tie finely balanced. The Lions have been in impressive form recently in the Championship, boasting an undefeated streak in their last six matches. This run includes a solid 2-0 home victory against Oxford and a resilient 3-1 away win at Stoke, showcasing their ability to both defend resolutely and find the net. Notably, five of Millwall's last six Championship games have seen under 2.5 goals, highlighting their often tight and disciplined performances.
Hull, meanwhile, also come into the second leg having played out a 0-0 draw at home in the first encounter. Their recent form has been more inconsistent, with their last six matches reflecting a mixed bag of results. Following the stalemate with Millwall, the Tigers secured a 2-1 home win against Norwich but suffered a 2-1 defeat to Charlton away from home. Their away form, in particular, has been a concern, with the side picking up just two points from their last 15 available on their travels and registering only one win in their last seven away fixtures.
Millwall vs Hull Head to Head
The previous meeting between these two sides was the aforementioned goalless draw in the first leg of this play-off semi-final on May 8th, 2026. Prior to that, in the current 2025/2026 Championship season, Millwall secured a dominant 3-1 away victory against Hull in March, and also triumphed 3-1 at home in December.
Looking back at the last six meetings, the Tigers have had a slight edge, winning three, drawing two, and losing one. However, Millwall have had the upper hand in the most recent encounters within the 2025/2026 season. The historical trend also aligns with Millwall's recent low-scoring matches, as under 2.5 goals have been scored in five of the Lions' last six Championship games, a pattern that has often been reflected in their clashes with Hull.

Prediction: Millwall 1-0 Hull
The first leg saw Millwall outshoot Hull by a significant margin of 15-6, yet both strong defences ensured the contest ended goalless. The Lions' recent home form is robust, having won back-to-back home league games and four of their last six overall. Their strengths lie in creating long shot opportunities, attacking down the wings, winning aerial duels, and defending set pieces, often employing a possession-based style. Hull, on the other hand, struggle with keeping possession and defending against wing attacks and long shots, which plays directly into Millwall's hands.
Hull's away form is particularly concerning, with only two points from their last 15 available on the road and just one win in their last seven. While they possess strengths in finishing chances and creating through individual skill, their weaknesses in defensive areas against Millwall's preferred attacking methods make this a tough assignment. The home side's defensive solidity, combined with their ability to create chances, suggests they can find the breakthrough needed to secure a narrow victory in a typically tight play-off encounter.
Best Bet: Under 2.5 Goals Check out the best odds on Caesars Sportsbook
Given that the first leg ended 0-0 and the fact that there have been under 2.5 goals scored in five of Millwall's last six Championship matches, a low-scoring affair seems highly probable. Hull's struggles in front of goal on their travels, coupled with Millwall's defensive discipline, reinforce this prediction. Both teams will likely approach this decisive leg cautiously, making Under 2.5 Goals a valuable betting angle.
