Pick of the stats: Millwall v Stoke City
- Published
Millwall are looking for just a third win in eight league games as they welcome Stoke City to The Den on Saturday (12:30 GMT).
Stoke's midweek victory over Blackburn Rovers means they are four points of the relegation zone.
Millwall have lost only one of their past 12 league meetings with Stoke (W6 D5), a 2-0 away defeat in the 2021-22 season.
Stoke have not won on any of their past six league visits to Millwall (D2 L4) since a 1-0 victory in August 2005 under then manager Johan Boskamp.
Millwall have picked up just five points in their six league games at The Den under Alex Neil (W1 D2 L3), scoring five goals in that time from 65 shots (7.7% conversion rate).
Stoke City have lost their past three away league matches, last losing four in a row between January and March 2024 under Steven Schumacher.
This is Millwall manager Alex Neil's first league meeting with former club Stoke since he left in December 2023. Neil has won four of his past five Championship games against the Potters (L1).
