Millwall FC host Hull City AFC on Monday night in the decisive second leg of their Championship playoff semi-final.

Following a 0-0 draw in the first leg, the winner at The Den will secure a place in the playoff final at Wembley on 23 May.

Millwall were the better side in the first leg

Friday’s first encounter was a tense and physical affair with very few clear chances.

However, Millwall FC looked the more dangerous team for large parts of the match and still feel frustrated after Ryan Leonard’s late goal was controversially ruled out.

Home advantage could prove decisive

Alex Neil’s side have won four of their last six home matches at The Den.

Millwall have also lost just one of their last nine matches across all competitions.

Hull City arrive with poor momentum

Hull City AFC have won only one of their last eight matches.

Away form remains concerning

The Tigers are without a victory in their last five away Championship matches.

Still, Hull can take confidence from winning each of their last two visits to The Den, including a convincing 3-1 victory in December.

Team news

Millwall remain without Lukas Jensen, Caleb Taylor, Daniel Kelly and Massimo Luongo due to injury.

Hull City will be missing Eliot Matazo, Amir Hadziahmetovic and Cody Drameh.
