Millwall and Stoke get their respective campaigns underway at the Den (London) on Saturday, 12 September and the match kicks off at 3pm (UK).
Millwall were one of the biggest surprises last season in the Championship. They were serious contenders for the play-offs, but a couple of defeats near the end left them in the 8th place, two points short from the play-off spot. The Lions were very solid defensively in 2019/2020 campaign, letting in only 51 goals in 46 games, which made them 6th best defensive team in the league.
Stoke, some might say, are still hurting from their premier League exit a few seasons ago and it is time they accepted the fact. Back-to-back bottom half finishes in the Championship prove that there's a lot of work to be done, but Michael O'Neill's short reign at the helm has seen some positive developments and it will be exciting to see how much he can achieve over a full season.
MILLWALL VS STOKE MATCH ANALYSIS
Coach Gary Rowett brought much needed stability to the team, while still maintaining Millwall's typical aggressiveness with pressing and getting under opponent's skin. The club finished eighth in the last three seasons, so the foundations are in place to start aiming for the top prize.They have started rebuilding from the back, but they are still looking for that elusive X-factor which could make them formidable in the attack as well.
While goals still may not be on the cards, they may find it encouraging that they finished their season with two home wins that ended a winless run of seven games at home (D4,L3). Furthermore, they are now without a defeat in their four home campaign openers (W2,D2). Jed Wallace will be a Millwall's player to look for, as he has done wonders in the previous campaign, being the only player with more than ten goals and ten assists to his name.
Stoke ended 2019/2020 campaign on a high note with three victories and a draw in their last four games, and the best part of that team will be the team's core again when the football resumes on Saturday. The Potters have also had a successful pre-season, defeating Linfield, Blacpool and Newcastle in the warm-up friendlies.
Those results definitely don't come as a coincidence, as Michael O'Neill is one of the most experienced head-coaches and the results in the second half of the season were emblematic of how they improved the way they play. The addition of Sam Vokes from Burnley may be crucial for them this season as he is supposed to partner Benik Afobe in the attack.

Millwall and Stoke are among the longest serving teams in the English football league, which means they have faced each other numerous times. Stoke have a slightly better record with 22 wins to Millwall's 17, while 14 games ended in a draw. Last season Millwall held the upper hand, defeating the Potters at home and drawing in the reverse fixture. They both won their EFL Cup matches at the beginning of this season, which will boost their morale before the kick-off, but the fact is that most of the matches in their long history ended in a goalless draw.

Tucker grew up in London, more precisely in West London. But, unlike many locals, he doesn’t like big and famous teams from that part of the city. Instead, ever since he was a kid, Tucker was passionate for lower divisions. This passion was born when his uncle from Reading took him to the local derby with Aldershot Town when he was 6 and since that moment football was running through his veins. He became a huge fan of the Royals for life, and whenever he could, he goes to Madejski Stadium to enjoy the game. Apart from being a job, his sports knowledge also becomes more than useful when he is betting live on high stakes which is also his passion.
