Southampton pack their bags to visit Millwall at The Den on Saturday afternoon, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 25 games played, Saints have recorded 8 wins, and Millwall have come away with 10 victories.

The previous match played between the two at The Den was within the last three years, in February 2003, with Southampton inflicting a narrow 1 - 2 defeat upon the The Lions in an F.A. Cup match.

Recent respective form guides

Millwall's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While The Lions have scored 5, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Southampton's away form is none too clever either, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. The Saints's have scored 7 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 9.

Millwall find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 14 games have yielded only 11 points. Southampton's 18 points from 14 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.
