On Wednesday Sep 14th, in week 10, Millwall will play host to Queens Park Rangers in a meeting of these two closely matched Championship teams in the anticipated London derby. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 18 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. Millwall sits at 14th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 2-0 shutout win against Cardiff City. Charlie Cresswell struck first for Millwall in the 63rd minute, then Benik Afobe added another in the 90th minute on a feed from Charlie Cresswell In the end, Cardiff City couldn’t muster any offence and Millwall ran away with the shutout win. Millwall is looking for direction having earned 12 points in their last 10 matches, while queens Park Rangers is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Swansea City. Joel Piroe scored the first goal for Swansea City in the 21st minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Queens Park Rangers was frustrated by Swansea City’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Swansea City ended the match with the shutout victory. Queens Park Rangers is looking for direction having 3 win and 3 losses in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Millwall won the head to head battle with 1 win and 1 draw.
Queens Park Rangers’s top weapon lately has been Christopher Willock, who has three goals in the last 5 matches. Nathan Wood-Gordon and Ben Cabango are the top scorers for Millwall in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
