The Championship’s late kickoff sees two sides face each other who were both tipped for the drop at the start of the campaign. Both started the campaign well, but poor form over the past few weeks mean that both are now sliding down the table at an alarming rate. With Millwall in 16th while Scunthorpe are in 22nd, there’s no doubt that this will be a must-win encounter for both managers.
Millwall started the campaign in blitzing fashion and at one stage even found themselves top of the league. However, their form has tailed off significantly in recent weeks and with just one win from their last six, they now find themselves in 16th spot having collected twenty four points from their opening nineteen games. It still leaves them with a comfortable four point cushion from the bottom three, but there’s no doubt that their supporters will still be alarmed at the slide their side is on. However, having drawn their last game to Preston and winning against Middlesbrough the week before that, there is hope that the Lions might be slowly crawling out of this slump.
Scunthorpe meanwhile are in terrible form. Through the time they’ve been in the division, the Iron have never really gone on long losing streaks although it’s safe to say that they’re now experiencing one
