Millwall vs Hull Correct Score

Millwall
1 - 0
Hull

Millwall look slightly better equipped to turn territory into one decisive moment, especially with Femi Azeez, Camiel Neghli and Josh Coburn all offering different routes to goal. Their home scoring profile is steady rather than explosive, so a runaway result feels unlikely. Still, their recent clean-sheet habit gives this prediction a narrow but logical home lean. Hull have enough individual threat to make this uncomfortable, with McBurnie’s penalty-box presence and Gelhardt’s movement keeping Millwall honest. Even so, their first-leg attacking flow was patchy after the early Belloumi chance. With playoff nerves usually tightening spaces, the match may tilt on one set piece, second ball, or late Den surge.

Millwall vs Hull Stats

  • Millwall collected 11 points from their last 5 matches, building serious playoff momentum.
  • Hull earned 6 points across their last 5 games, drawing too often for comfort.
  • Millwall have scored in 11 straight home matches, keeping The Den noisy lately.
  • Hull saw BTTS land in 4 of their last 5 fixtures before this trip.
  • Millwall kept 3 clean sheets in their latest 5 games, conceding just 2.
  • Hull have won only 3 of their previous 13 matches, despite playoff pedigree.

Millwall vs Hull Match Preview

Millwall arrive with the stronger storyline. They missed automatic promotion by a tiny margin, finished third, and now get the second leg in front of a crowd that can make The Den feel like a washing machine. Alex Neil’s side are not always pretty, but they are stubborn, direct, and hard to shake.

Hull’s season has had a different rhythm. Sergej Jakirovic’s team squeezed into sixth on the final day, then produced a disciplined first-leg performance without quite finding their attacking punch. They can soak up pressure and counter, but the question is whether they can survive long enough away from home.

The likely pattern feels familiar: Millwall pushing territory, using long throws, second balls and wide deliveries, while Hull look for McBurnie, Gelhardt, Belloumi and Millar in transition. Corners could become a theme, cards may appear if the match gets stretched, and one goal might feel enormous.

Millwall vs Hull Team News

Millwall are expected to keep their 4-2-3-1 shape under Alex Neil, with Patterson behind a back line featuring Leonard, Crama, Cooper and Sturge. M. Luongo is out with a cruciate ligament injury, while L. Bornhøft Jensen is unavailable because of an Achilles tendon problem.

Femi Azeez should again be important from the right, having produced 89 shots this season, while Josh Coburn offers the central reference point after scoring 9 goals. Jake Cooper’s set-piece presence also matters, especially in a tie where one delivery could turn the whole evening.

Hull should also line up in a 4-2-3-1, with Ivor Pandur in goal and Oliver McBurnie leading the attack. A. Hadziahmetovic, E. Matazo and C. Drameh are out. McBurnie has 17 goals and 38 shots on target, so Millwall cannot treat Hull as passengers.

Hull City and Millwall shared a tense 0-0 draw in the Championship play-off semi-final first leg, leaving the tie finely balanced ahead of Monday’s return at The Den. Mo Belloumi struck the post early for Hull, while Ryan Leonard had a late Millwall goal disallowed for a foul. A physical, hard-fought contest offered few clear chances but set up a decisive second leg.
