2025-26 Sky Bet Championship: Week 12 – Saturday

Millwall face Leicester in a massive Sky Bet Championship encounter at The Den. 

Victory would see Millwall stay third in the table, whilst Leicester can leapfrog Millwall and potentially move back into the play-off spots depending on results elsewhere.

 

Team News

Will Smallbone is ruled out for Millwall after he suffered a hamstring injury during their 2-0 victory at home to Stoke.

Josh Coburn (quad) and Massimo Luongo (ACL) remain sidelined.

Leicester could welcome striker, Stephy Mavididi back after he missed their last three matches with a hamstring injury.

Ben Nelson (muscle) and Harry Souttar (Achilles) remain absent.

 

When is Kick-Off?

Millwall host Leicester at The Den on Saturday 25 October at 3pm BST, untelevised live in the UK.

 

Stat Attack

• Millwall have won five of their last eight Championship meetings against Leicester (W5, L3).
• Leicester have won just one of their last five league trips to Millwall (W1, L4).
• Millwall have won two of their last three league games at home to Leicester by 1-0 results.
• No Millwall player this season has been involved in more league goals than Femi Azeez, with the 24-year-old having created three goals and one assist in six appearances.
• Leicester have won one of their last seven league games (W1, D5, L1).

 

Prediction

Now sat third after three consecutive victories, Millwall are high on confidence coming into this massive game where they will again need another clinical performance just like the display which they produced to beat Stoke in midweek.

Leicester though are in similar form to Millwall with one defeat in their last seven league matches but kept just one clean sheet in that run, whilst they just failed to handle Hull’s first-half intensity so they need to be switched on immediately if want to take the fight to an in-form Millwall.

The Den though isn’t a kind place for Leicester on recent visits and given their form, I expect another tough trip but they really should have enough quality to try and nick a draw.

Prediction: Millwall 1-1 Leicester

Result: Millwall 1-0 Leicester
