LONDON (Interstat) — Millwall opened its English Championship season with a 1-0 victory over Derby County on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, at The Den in Southwark.

The lone goal came just before halftime in the 43rd minute, with midfielder Josh Coburn providing the finish. Substitute Dion Sanderson was credited with the assist on the decisive play. The result defied a pre-match projection from Interstat, whose simulator had forecast a 1-1 draw, though its ELO system heavily favored Millwall with a 78.1% win probability.

Derby County, which saw three substitutes booked in a six-minute span early in the second half, was held scoreless. The loss marks a disappointing start to the campaign for the visitors, while Millwall begins with a win.
