Millwall v Cardiff City - Sky Bet Championship
Millwall are looking to win consecutively over Cardiff for the first time since 2003

Millwall will host Cardiff City at The Den in the EFL Championship on Saturday, looking to arrest their three-game losing run in the league.

With just seven points in as many games, Millwall are down in 19th place in the standings and going through a rough patch. After beating Coventry City last month, Gary Rowett's team failed to win their next four games, collecting just one point from a possible 12.

Cardiff, meanwhile, haven't covered themselves in glory either, accruing just one point more than Millwall and sitting in 17th place in the points table. The Bluebirds are also winless in their last four games, losing and drawing twice apiece and failing to score in three of them.

Last season, the team at home won on both occasions. Cardiff beat Millwall in the Welsh capital before the Lions exacted revenge at The Den.
