Neil has made the Lions a tough team to crack
Since Alex Neil took over as Millwall manager, he has made the club a tough nut to crack, as his sides are set up to defend with numbers in the box and utilise the ball in wide areas, while also keeping a solid structure in the centre of the field.
Under Julien Stéphan, QPR have more of an identity than they did under previous regimes, with the Frenchman favouring a patient possession approach, an organised pressing scheme, and the integration of young players into the first team. The Hoops may find it tough to get the ball in the final third, but if they do, they will look to overload their opponents. For a comprehensive Millwall vs Queens Park Rangers preview, it’s clear both managers bring contrasting tactics to the table.
