Bristol City vs Millwall Prediction

Bristol City began the season brightly and won their first five matches to lead the way as early pacesetters.

They have, however, fallen off the pace but sit just one point outside the playoff spots.

Millwall, on the other hand, have been among the worst-performing sides in the division in recent weeks and are on a 10-game winless run in the Championship.

The hosts need the victory to keep their promotion hopes alive and we expect them to edge with a tight victory.

Prediction: Bristol City 1-0 Millwall
