Millwall would have been disappointed to draw with Sheffield Wednesday before the international break as it pushed them further away from the top six.
They can still potentially bounce back into the playoff positions with a win, but that will mean overturning their three-game winless run.
Like the Lions, Cardiff have won just one of their past five league games and find themselves in 15th.
The Bluebirds will be wary that a loss could see them dragged into a surprising early relegation scrap as one of five teams locked on 13 points apiece.
Millwall vs Cardiff City Head-to-Head
The last five fixtures between these two have ended in draws – a record stretching back to 2015.
Millwall fans will be pleased to know that they were the last team to claim a win in this fixture, winning 1-0 in October 2014.
Furthermore, they haven’t lost to Cardiff at home since September 2012.
Saturday’s game will be the 19th consecutive second-tier game between the two.
Millwall have won three of these while Cardiff won three games. The other 13 games have ended in draws.
It is no surprise then that there have been 27 draws between the two sides in history, Millwall winning 21 other fixtures while Cardiff have beaten their opponents on 20 occasions.
