Millwall Form Guide

Millwall travelled to Riverside Stadium on Tuesday night and played out a competitive 2-2 draw against Middlesbrough, with Taïryk Arconte and Lyndon Dykes getting on the scoresheet for The Lions. They’ve now scored in all but one of their seven Championship fixtures, only kept scoreless in their 0-3 defeat to Wrexham earlier this month.

Ahead of Saturday's Docker’s Derby, Millwall have had a solid start to their campaign with a record of three victories, one draw and three defeats, giving them a tally of ten points, putting them in eleventh place. Though that’s a drop-off from third, where they finished last seven, it’s still very early days and as the table starts to take shape, they remain only four points off the top-four West Ham United, Swansea, Middlesbrough and West Brom.

Millwall are unbeaten in their last five home league games against West Ham United (W3 D2) dating back to a 1-0 defeat in December 1988. If that run is to be extended on Saturday, the performance of winger Camiel Neghli will be key after an assist midweek; his technical ability and swift acceleration will be a key element of their game plan.

West Ham United Form Guide

West Ham United may have been knocked out narrowly 2-3 by Fulham midweek, but that is unlikely to curb their enthusiasm in the Championship. Following a relatively slow start to their season, the Hammers have really clicked into gear in recent weeks and have now won four consecutive league matches after victories over Wolves, Derby County, Bolton and Wrexham.

Following that run of form, West Ham United are currently top of the league table due to an impressive goal difference of +11, which is superior to Swansea (+6), Middlesbrough (+4) and West Brom (+3), who are all level on points.  Their 20 goals scored make them the highest scorers in the division, with their 9 conceded giving them the joint eighth-strongest defence at this early stage of the season,

West Ham United have already shown this season that they can share the goals around with twelve different scorers. However, it’s the performances of captain Jarrod Bowen which have really caught the eye: his 6 goals and 4 assists in 10 games across all competitions.
