Millwall and Birmingham City square off at the Den in round 43 of the EFL Championship on Tuesday (April 18). The Lions are on a run of eight games without defeat against the visitors and will set out to extend this impressive streak.
The hosts reignited their race for a playoff spot with a comfortable 2-0 win over Preston North End on Saturday. Before that, Gary Rowett’s side were on a four-game winless run, claiming two points from a possible 12. Millwall have picked up 65 points from 42 games to sit fifth in the Championship, three points above seventh-placed Coventry City just outside the playoff places.

With 50 points from 42 games, Birmingham are 17th in the league, nine points off the top half.
