Millwall vs Hull preview 

Hull have ridden their luck and overperformed their underlying numbers all season but their fortune may finally run out as they visit Millwall in the second leg of their Championship playoff semi-final.

Only bottom side Sheffield Wednesday allowed more expected goals than the Tigers and they ranked third-bottom of the league on OPTA’s expected points table.

Sergej Jakirovic’s men were fortunate not to lose the first game between these two, with Millwall hitting the post, having a late goal disallowed and winning the shot count 15-6.

Hull almost scored within the first two minutes but failed to pose any major threat after that and had to sit in for large parts of the second half, a pattern which may be repeated in this clash.

That result made it two wins from Hull’s last nine games and they took just two points from their final five away games of the campaign.

By contrast, Millwall have been rock-solid at the Den recently, winning four of their last six games in their own backyard without conceding.

Only the two promoted sides, Coventry and Ipswich, won more home games than the Lions this season and Millwall should be too strong for their visitors.

Hull’s leaky defence - they conceded the most goals of any team in the top half - is in sharp contrast with the resolute defending of Alex Neil’s side, who kept 11 clean sheets in their 23 home matches, the most of any team in the league.

Hull’s defenders were kept busy by the physicality of Josh Coburn in the first leg and his link-up play with creative outlet Femi Azeez may well be crucial to the home side’s chances.

Oli McBurnie and Joe Gelhardt can be dangerous on the counter for the visitors, but it may be Hull's defence which is their undoing once again.

Millwall’s home solidity is fancied to win the day with the Lions fancied to book their place in the playoff final at Wembley with a victory inside 90 minutes.

Azeez crucial to home hopes

Femi Azeez has been one of the standout players in the Championship this season, with 11 goals and seven assists for Millwall.

The 24-year-old looks the likeliest player to produce a moment of magic for the Lions and is fancied to score or assist.

Another clean sheet could be on the cards

Millwall have been rock-solid defensively this season, particularly at home, and they could keep Hull at arm's length in the return leg.

A 2-0 home win makes plenty of appeal for correct-score purposes.
