Recent form

Millwall

The Lions are on a three-match unbeaten run, having won their last two fixtures against Swansea and Plymouth Argyle by identical 1-0 scorelines.

While not prolific in attack, Millwall have been consistent, scoring in five of their last six matches. The standout result in this run was a 3-1 victory over Preston, which represents their highest-scoring game in recent weeks. Interestingly, 83% of Millwall's last six matches have seen under 2.5 goals, indicating a trend towards tight, low-scoring affairs.

Burnley

Burnley have shown impressive defensive solidity in their recent run of form, maintaining five clean sheets in their last six matches. The Clarets are currently on a nine-game unbeaten streak, demonstrating their resilience in the Championship. Despite their strong position in the league table, Burnley's attacking output has been somewhat muted, scoring only four goals in their last six games. Notably, all of their recent matches have been low-scoring affairs, with 100% of the games featuring under 2.5 goals. The team's ability to grind out results is evident in their four draws during this period, including three goalless stalemates. While Burnley have been difficult to beat, their lack of high-scoring games and the fact that both teams have scored in only 17% of these matches suggests a cautious, defence-first approach.

Burnley

Burnley's recent away form presents a mixed picture, with the Clarets showing resilience but struggling to find the back of the net consistently. In their last six away matches, Burnley have managed two wins, two draws, and two losses, demonstrating a balanced but somewhat inconsistent performance on the road. Notably, the team have kept three clean sheets in these fixtures, highlighting their defensive strength.
