Bristol City host Millwall at the Ashton Gate Stadium in the EFL Championship on Saturday, as both teams look to extend their winning run. The Robins overcame Portsmouth 1-0 on the road last weekend, as Anis Mehmeti's 17th-minute strike was enough to earn them all three points.
Now with 29 points in the bag from 18 matches, Gerhard Struber's side are in sixth place in the league standings and within touching distance of the top two.
Millwall have accrued two points more than Bristol and come into the fixture on the back of consecutive wins. A slender 1-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday on 27 November was followed by a hard-fought 3-2 win over Southampton, once again at home.
They are looking to make it three wins in a row for the first time since October, when the Lions won four games consecutively.
