PREVIEW: Millwall (A)

Derby County will head to South-East London to face Millwall in the Sky Bet Championship on Tuesday night (7.45pm kick-off).

John Eustace’s Rams will head to the capital city buoyed by a 2-1 win over Sheffield Wednesday on home turf at the weekend – their second on the bounce in the league after a win against Blackburn Rovers in DE24 a week earlier.

Millwall, meanwhile, also enter the Tuesday night tie following a win. The Lions came away 3-1 victors on the road against fellow play-off rivals Hull City, so they will return to the Den in high spirits.

Pre-Match Thoughts

Head Coach John Eustace spoke to RamsTV as his team makes the trip to Bermondsey on Tuesday night.

Rhian Brewster also caught up with RamsTV to reflect on his recent form after providing the assist against Sheffield Wednesday for his seventh goal involvement for Derby since December. The attacker also previewed the midweek trip to London.

The Opposition

Millwall announced the arrival of Alex Neil as their new Head Coach on 30th December 2024.

Bringing rich second-tier management experience to The Lions, having previously been in the hot seat at Norwich City, Preston North End, Sunderland and Stoke City.

His most notable success as a manager came in 2015 when he engineered Norwich City’s promotion to the Premier League via the play-offs.

He also created a competitive and well-regarded side across four seasons and nearly 200 matches with North End.

Since entering the Den 15 months ago, Neil has been the architect of a steady building process.

After securing an eighth-placed finish at the end of his first season, The Lions now find themselves in third place after 36 games this season.

19 wins and eight draws in the division means Millwall sit just four points away from the automatic promotion spots, with Middlesbrough sitting ahead of the Bermondsey club with 10 matches remaining.

Serbian striker Mihailo Ivanović and former Reading midfielder Femi Azeez top Millwall’s scoring charts in the league this season, with eight goals each, while Azeez is also impressing in the assist stakes, having set up six goals this term.

Defender Tristan Crama has also been an unlikely outlet for The Lions, with eight goal involvements to his name.

After making 11 signings before the start of the 2025/26 season - most notably spending on young Middlesbrough forward Josh Coburn and West Bromwich Albion centre-back Caleb Taylor – Millwall have amassed a squad capable of setting sights on the play-offs.

Then, three winter additions in Sunderland goalkeeper Anthony Patterson, and Brighton and Hove Albion winger Tom Watson on loan, as well as signing Sheffield Wednesday stalwart Barry Bannan, further bolstered the ranks in South London for a full-throated promotion push.

Match Officials

Matthew Donohue will be the man in the middle on Tuesday, officiating his 20th Championship fixture this season.

Across his 24 games in all competitions so far in 2025/26, he has shown a total of 96 yellow cards, two second yellow cards and one red card.

Jacob Graham and Ian Cooper have been named as the Assistant Referees, while Robert Madley has been appointed as the Fourth Official.
