Millwall ended their winless run with a victory away at Bristol City in midweek and will hope that result is the catalyst for their re-ascent to the upper echelons of the table.
They currently lie 15th and cannot jump back into the top half with a win this weekend, but another three points would go a long way to rectifying their dismal recent form.
Nottingham Forest’s 2-0 win over bottom club Sheffield Wednesday kept them out of the bottom three on goal difference in midweek.
Just one goal separates them and arch rivals Derby County, who sit a place below them. Even if Forest win this weekend, they could drop into the relegation zone if the Rams win their game by a greater margin.
Millwall vs Nottingham Forest Head-to-Head
Millwall have not lost to Nottingham Forest in their last five matches, their last defeat against the Lions coming in August 2017.
The last time Millwall lost to Forest was in a 2016 League Cup tie but they haven’t lost at The Den to their counterparts on home soil since April 2013.
These two sides meet in the Championship for the 19th time this weekend, although they have played many more second-tier fixtures prior to the league’s rebranding.
Millwall have lost and drawn 22 times apiece to Forest in their history, while claiming 27 victories.
