- Hull City have won only three of their nine away Championship games this season (D2, L4)
- Hull City have won one and drawn one of their last two meetings with Millwall, who have failed to beat them at home in either of the two previous encounters.
- Millwall have won two and drawn one of their last three home Championship games.
Lions’ home record should hold firm
Millwall will probably be able to extend their strong home form when they take on Hull City in a competitive Championship matchup at The Den on Saturday.
The Lions are third in the table after taking 34 points from their 19 games and look well-placed to make a good run in this Championship campaign according to our Millwall vs Hull City prediction.
They have been in good form, winning three of their last five and losing only one, and those victories include a dramatic 3-2 home win over Southampton and a hard-fought 1-0 away win at Bristol City.
Alex Neil’s appointment as head coach in December 2024 has brought an instant tactical discipline and an ability to shape-shift into different formations and control the midfield chess match.
Mihailo Ivanovic’s return to form with three goals in his last five appearances has given them an added dimension that could be useful in an intense matchup like this Millwall vs Hull City preview.
Both teams to score an option at The Den
Hull City, ninth in the Championship with 28 points from 19 games, are just outside the playoff spots and their form is mixed after two wins and three defeats in their last five.
Their away win over Stoke City was a big boost after a 4-1 home defeat to Middlesbrough, but they have struggled to get a foothold away from the MKM Arena this term, and this Millwall vs Hull City prediction points to another tough trip for them.
Sergej Jakirović’s appointment in June 2025 has given Hull City a more combative style, with plenty of high pressing and vertical transitions. The Tigers are certainly a better team since his arrival with a more ‘warrior’ mentality, but they have only three away wins to show for their labors.
Joe Gelhardt is their main outlet in attack, scoring 10 goals in 19 Championship appearances, including four in his last five games.
His hot streak keeps Hull City dangerous and they are a threat on the break in all games with an average of 1.67 goals per away game in the Championship this term (15 in 9 away games), so the Millwall vs Hull City betting tips suggest backing a lively match.
Femi Azeez’s clinical edge could decide it
Millwall, who score an average of 1.20 at The Den, have a clinical edge in Femi Azeez, who is their top scorer in the Championship with six goals in 11 appearances.
The hosts are the slight favorites here at 2.03 while Hull are 3.54 to win. Both teams to score will be the selection at 1.78, as neither is a free-scoring side and both will have chances in a tight game.
The previous two meetings have been very close, so the Millwall vs Hull City prediction is that the side which wins the midfield double-pivot battle and exploits the other’s weaknesses on the counterattack will prevail. Hull are a definite threat on the attack but Millwall’s home form and momentum mean the hosts should squeeze out a win in this one.
