Cardiff City's recent run of form has instiled confidence that they can avoid the drop. Millwall, by contrast, have seen their promotion aspirations hit the wall owing to poor displays over the last few weeks.
A major problem for the capital side has been a lack of goals but the game against Cardiff offers an opportunity to get back on track. We are backing both sides to share the spoils in a low-scoring draw.
Prediction: Millwall 1-1 Cardiff City
