Match Overview

The upcoming clash in the Championship sees Southampton, currently occupying the fourth position in the standings, locking horns with Millwall, who find themselves in the 18th spot and struggling to secure victories in their last four fixtures.

Southampton’s Resurgence

Southampton’s journey in the Championship this season has been nothing short of remarkable. After a challenging run of form in September left them with a negative goal difference, the Saints have rebounded impressively. Russell Martin’s side has embarked on a six-match unbeaten streak, amassing 14 points along the way.

Despite a few frustrating draws against Rotherham United and Preston North End, Martin can take solace in the unwavering character displayed by his players throughout October. Southampton may have only managed a single clean sheet during this period, but they compensated by scoring an impressive 12 goals in their last six games. What’s more, they showcased their tenacity with late strikes in the final five minutes of their past three outings.

A significant contributor to Southampton’s success has been Adam Armstrong, who has netted a third of the team’s league goals. Nevertheless, Martin’s approach is commendable as 11 different players have found the back of the net in just 14 matches. This remarkable team effort highlights their versatility and depth in scoring.

Millwall’s Challenges

Millwall, on the other hand, face an uphill battle, with no permanent manager in place at the moment. The departure of former Southampton boss Nathan Jones has left the managerial position vacant, and any appointment is unlikely to occur before this Saturday’s match.

Adam Barrett has been tasked with guiding Millwall through this challenging period, and their winless streak since October 3 has undoubtedly been a concern. However, there’s a glimmer of hope as the Lions recently salvaged a draw against Watford, albeit with the hosts scoring a late equalizer.

Despite their 18th position in the Championship standings, Millwall are within seven points of their upcoming opponents, Southampton. This fact underlines their potential to turn the season around with a victory on Saturday.

Team News

Both teams have some key considerations in terms of team selection:

Millwall: Shaun Hutchinson and Ryan Leonard are expected to be in contention, having recovered from calf and knee injuries. The decision on whether to start them or not remains uncertain, given their recent close encounter with Watford. In a 4-4-2 formation, Ryan Longman is competing with George Honeyman for a spot on the left flank.

Southampton: While Che Adams is pushing for a return from injury, he might find himself on the bench if deemed fit to play. Samuel Edozie, who provided an assist against Birmingham City, is also in consideration. Manager Russell Martin may opt for the same Southampton XI that has been performing well.

Predicted Lineups

Here are the possible starting lineups for both teams:

Millwall: Bialkowski; McNamara, Harding, Cooper, Wallace; Norton-Cuffy, De Norre, Saville, Honeyman; Flemming, Bradshaw

Southampton: Bazunu; Walker-Peters, Harwood-Bellis, Bednarek, Bree; Smallbone, Downes, S.Armstrong; Alcaraz, Armstrong, Sulemana

Match Prediction

In this encounter, Southampton are unquestionably the favourites. They have not only dominated possession but have also showcased their attacking prowess, making them strong contenders for a victory. We predict a scoreline of Millwall 1-3 Southampton.

Prediction: Millwall 1-3 Southampton
