Millwall face Cardiff City in the Sky Bet Championship

Cardiff City and Millwall will trade tackles in an EFL Championship matchday 20 clash on Saturday.

Millwall, meanwhile, settled for a share of the spoils in a 1-1 draw at home to Sunderland. They went ahead through Kevin Nisbet's 44th-minute opener but Jack Clarke drew the game level from the spot in the 78th minute.

Cardiff City vs Millwall Prediction

The congested nature of the Championship midtable means that Cardiff City are still in the playoff conversation despite currently occupying 11th spot. The Welsh outfit have won just one of their last five league games and will be looking to get back on track against an out-of-sorts Millwall.

New manager Joe Edwards is yet to have a major impact since taking charge of Millwall. However, the Lions were victorious on their most recent visit to this stadium (their first away win over Cardiff in 18 years).

We are backing the hosts to claim maximum points with a narrow victory and clean sheet.

Prediction: Cardiff City 1-0 Millwall
