Bristol City will host Millwall at Ashton Gate on Saturday in the second round of the 2024-25 EFL Championship campaign. The home side enjoyed a strong pre-season campaign but have struggled to come alive in competitive action so far, kicking off their league campaign with a 1-1 draw against Hull City.

They looked set to be headed toward a hard-fought victory following Fally Mayulu's late opener before their opponents drew level from the spot in additional time.

They were then beaten 1-0 by Coventry City in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday and will look to shake off their latest results and pick up their first win of the season this weekend.

Meanwhile, Millwall suffered a 3-2 home defeat to Watford in their league opener last weekend, finding themselves two goals down before the hour mark andcoming back to draw level via a Duncan Watmore brace before their opponents reclaimed the lead late in the game.

The visitors, however, picked up their first win of the season on Tuesday as they beat Portsmouth 1-0 in the Carabao Cup with 19-year-old Romain Esse scoring the sole goal of the game in the first half.

Bristol City vs Millwall Prediction

Bristol are on a three-game winless streak in competitive action and have won just one of their last six games. They are, however, undefeated in their last five home league games and will be hopeful of a positive result here as well.

Millwall's latest result ended a three-game losing streak and they will be looking to build on that this weekend. They have, however, won just three of their last 10 away league games and could see defeat here.
