Big test at the MKM: Hull look to bounce back against in-form Millwall
Hull City return to the MKM Stadium on 07/03/2026 knowing three points would keep them firmly in the promotion mix. This is a tight Championship tussle in Round 36: Hull sit fifth on 60 points while visitors Millwall are just above them in fourth with 62. Referee David Webb will take charge of a game that promises intensity; kickoff is scheduled for 12:30 local time in Hull. The recent reverse at Ipswich on 3 March (0-1) stung Hull, but they still arrive with high goal numbers across the season. Millwall, by contrast, have been the steadier outfit of late and come off a 2-0 win at Preston that underlined their momentum.
Form, recent meetings and what it means
The teams traded blows the last time they met in December when Hull left with a 3-1 victory on the road, so history suggests this fixture can be open and entertaining. Hull’s recent sequence has been patchy — wins and losses mixed together — while Millwall’s latest run contains more success: six wins, one draw and three defeats recorded in the last ten compiled results. Millwall’s confidence is visible in back-to-back strong away displays prior to this match, and Hull will have to regroup quickly after their narrow loss to Ipswich, where goalkeeper Ivor Pandur was the pick of the bunch with a 7.4 rating.
Where the numbers point: attacks, goals and defensive edges
Statistically Millwall edge Hull in attacking volume and control. Millwall average more total shots and dangerous attacks per game and also boast 14 clean sheets to Hull’s 10, suggesting they combine attacking thrust with defensive discipline. Hull have been one of the season’s more productive scorers with 56 goals overall and a high percentage of games breaching the 2.5-goal line (Hull over 2.5 in 62.86% of matches at home). Both sides show good tendencies to find the net — home BTTS for Hull sits just over 52% and Millwall’s away BTTS is north of 56% — a sign this clash frequently produces goals at both ends.
Prediction and betting suggestion
Bookmakers make Millwall the slight favourite (around 2.34) but this promises to be competitive. Given the combination of Hull’s propensity for high-scoring home games and Millwall’s tendency to score away while keeping several clean sheets, the clearest edge is in the goals market. Expect an open contest where both sides have the quality and the recent form to get on the scoresheet.
