Millwall were unbeaten in their last 10 away matches last season
Bristol City have won just one of their last six competitive matches
Recommended bet: Millwall to win @ 6/4 with LiveScore Bet
Millwall finished third in the Championship last season, just a point behind promoted Ipswich, before suffering play-off heartache against Hull, and the south Londoners will be looking to mount another strong promotion push.
Manager Alex Neil has managed to retain most of his key players, and on paper the Lions hold a class edge over Bristol City, who were unable to build on a decent 2024-25 campaign when finishing mid-table last season.
Michael Skubala, who guided Lincoln to a shock promotion to the Championship, is now at the helm at Ashton Gate, and the Robins have been busy recruiting during the summer.
However, the new arrivals were unable to prevent a surprise 1-0 home defeat at the hands of League Two's Walsall in the Carabao Cup last week.

Prediction
Bristol City's new signings have yet to bed in judged on the Robins' surprise home defeat at the hands of Walsall in last week's League Cup tie, and they could be in for a tough time against Millwall, who received a tonic when beating fellow Championship side QPR on penalties in their tie.
The Lions have an excellent away record and did the double over Bristol City last season.
The fact they have retained most of last season's squad means Alex Neil will already have a fair idea of his best team and they can hit the ground running.
Bristol City's home record is poor, and there are few flaws in a Millwall side who boasted the best away record in the Championship last season with 11 wins and only four defeats.
Score prediction: Bristol City 1-2 Millwall
