Millwall's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While Lions have scored 4, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Leeds United's away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. Just 7 goals have scored in these games, though to be fair only a measly 3 have been let in at the wrong end.

Millwall are currently lying in 19th place in npower Championship having mustered a points tally of 40 from their 38 matches played.

Leeds United's 54 points from 38 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.
