Recent respective form guides

Cardiff City's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Bluebirds have scored 6, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Millwall's away form is none too clever either, tasting just one defeat in their last six, and picking up four good wins. Those games have seen the Lions pummel 15 goals, and let in 8.

Cardiff City lie just outside the playoff positions in the npower Championship, picking up 60 points from their 39 games so far.

Millwall are currently lying in 19th place in npower Championship having mustered a points tally of 40 from their 39 matches played.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from Cardiff City at home in recent games, and, though we cannot see a run starting here, we do think the Bluebirds will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
