LUFC – Millwall v Leeds preview
Leeds travel to Millwall for the first leg of the Play Off semi final in what is sure to be an electric atmosphere at the Den.
Form
Millwall
The Lions form has been inconsistent recently and they lost their last game of the season at Carlisle United 2-0.
Millwall`s biggest problem after Christmas was their home form whilst their away form was very strong.
This changed towards the end of the season when they won their last three home games against Walsall, Peterborough and Leyton Orient and lost their last three away at Yeovil, Bristol Rovers and Carlisle.
At home over the season they won 13 drew 4 and lost 6.
Away they won 12, drew 3 and lost 8.
