Preview: Millwall Hosts Bristol City in Championship Clash

LONDON (Interstat) — Millwall will look to complete a quick league double over Bristol City when the sides meet again at The Den on Monday in a Championship fixture rescheduled from earlier in the season.

The match, set for Dec. 29, 2025, is a swift rematch of a contest played just 23 days prior. On Dec. 6, Millwall secured a 1-0 away victory at Ashton Gate, a result that will be fresh in the minds of both squads.

Millwall (W-D-L: 4-4-2 in last 10) enters on a run of mixed form. They earned a hard-fought 0-0 draw at home against promotion-chasing Ipswich Town on Friday, but had lost their two previous matches to Blackburn Rovers and Hull City. Their home form has been inconsistent, with a thrilling 3-2 win over Southampton in late November followed by a 4-0 thrashing by Birmingham City.

Bristol City (W-D-L: 5-1-4 in last 10) arrives in the capital with momentum, coming off a 2-1 road victory over West Bromwich Albion on Friday. That win snapped a brief two-game skid that included the loss to Millwall and a defeat to Coventry City. The Robins have shown a Jekyll-and-Hyde tendency, capable of strong wins like a 3-0 triumph over Swansea City but also heavy losses, including a 5-1 defeat at Stoke City.

The statistical service Interstat projects a tightly contested draw, simulating a final score of Millwall 1, Bristol City 1.

This match concludes a busy holiday period for both clubs. Millwall will next travel to face Southampton on New Year’s Day, while Bristol City will host Portsmouth on Jan. 1, 2026.

Historically, matches between these two sides are often close, and with minimal turnaround time from their last meeting, tactical adjustments and squad depth will be tested. Millwall will aim to leverage its home pitch and psychological edge from the recent win, while Bristol City seeks immediate redemption and to continue its positive momentum from the West Brom result.

Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. local time at The Den in South London.
