Oxford's downfall continued on Tuesday and the team now sits just two points above the relegation zone. Millwall, in turn, are one win away from tying the last in the Top 6.
The crisis at Oxford United remains unsolved and the team recorded its fifth defeat in the last six Championship rounds. Their only win was a 1-0 over another team from the bottom. To make matters worse, the U's have not won another match since mid-September. The team has a single win in the last 12 fixtures.
On the other end, Millwall have had one of the weirdest seasons we have ever seen in the Championship. They started the campaign with a few groundbreaking defeats (4-3, 2-3) and then their defence suddenly became world class.
Millwall have not conceded more than a goal since the second round of the season back in mid-August. In fact, they've conceded seven goals in the last 14 Championship rounds. And the more interesting part is that they also only scored more than one goal twice. This will be an interesting encounter.
How the bookies view it: Rare away advantage
Bookmakers expect a tight match, with Millwall having a slight advantage. Kwiff priced the home side at 22/9, the visitors at 23/20, and the draw at 12/5.
Recent head to head: It's been a while
Oxford finally made it back to the Championship and we will see these teams clash again for the first time since 2017. Their most recent encounter was in the EFL Cup in August 2017, when Oxford took out Millwall through penalties after a 2-2 in regulation.
Players to watch: Don't risk it with this lot
There isn't a single individual in these teams who deserves your trust. Oxford and Millwall have two of the weakest attacks in the current season and there isn't a single player with more than five goals after 17 rounds. We can't recommend any good picks here.
Probable line-ups
Oxford United: Cumming, Brown, Long, Moore, Avest, Vaulks, Mizouni, Goodrham, Brannagan, Phillips, Scarlett
Millwall: Jensen, Bryan, Tanganga, Hutchinson, Leonard, Norre, Saville, Azeez, Honeyman, Esse, Coburn
Anything else catch the eye?
Oxford United have one of the weakest defences in the league and we still don't see how Millwall could take advantage of that. The Lions last scored more than one goal in late September. Every one of their last nine fixtures in the league has had less than three goals. The majority had less than two, in fact.
This feels like a certain under and we have to take the risk. But we also have to back the visitors to win, and the most probable scoreline is 0-1. This is a scarce opportunity for the Lions to win three easy points and bring themselves closer to the playoff spots. However, do not risk too much on this fixture, as it is one of the most difficult matchups from the upcoming round. Moreover, you can even opt for a safer option like the Draw No Bet if you aren't too certain about Millwall winning. The DNB market means we get our money back in case of a draw.
