Millwall and Hull City meet at The Den, in a match for this phase of the FA Cup (3rd Round). The history of recent direct matches is favorable to the home team, which records 1 win and 2 draws in the last 3 matches. The last direct confrontation between these two teams, on 08-12-2018, ended with a draw by (2-2). In this game the home factor may be decisive, since both teams present considerable differences in the results achieved at home and as a visitor.
Millwall:
The home team will make its debut in this edition of the FA Cup with the intention of conquering a positive result, taking advantage of the home factor. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 3 draws and 10 losses in away matches; against 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats in his stadium. The team comes to this match after a win away with Ipswich Town by (2-3). In the last 10 home matches for all competitions, Millwall won 5, tied 2 and lost 3. The team allowed goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for the opponent, so his defense needs to improve, but his attack has scored regularly, since he scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In 15 games, he suffered the first goal 11 times and only managed 3 comebacks. In the last 17 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 8 of their 21 goals between minutes (76′-90 ‘).
The Millwall is a club that has already conquered the League 1 (third national division) once throughout its history, a title it won in 2000/01, in addition to having a Championship title (second division) and a second place in the FA Cup In the current season, the team has been doing a very weak campaign, since it has won 28 of the 78 points played so far, being thus at the bottom of the table, six points ahead of the first team in the relegation zone . In the last five games that Millwall played at home, three of them scored more than 1.5 goals for the teams. We believe that in this match the Millwall will play a more open game, in which he will be able to score goals, but he will also be able to suffer goals.
Hull City:
The visiting team plays their first match in this edition of the FA Cup with the intention of winning a positive result as a visitor. This is a team that, oddly enough, was better outside than at home, as in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses in away matches; against 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses at their stadium. In the last match that they played, for the Championship, they beat Bolton Wanderers at home (6-0). In the last 10 away matches Hull City has won 4, tied 2 and lost 4. Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In 15 games, they only got 1 comeback in the 5 games in which they suffered the first goal.
Hull City is a club that was already runner-up in the FA Cup once throughout its history, campaign that reached in the 2013/14 season, in addition to having been runner-up in the Championship in the 2012/13 season. In the current season, the team has been doing an irregular campaign, since it has won 36 of the 78 points played so far, thus being in the middle of the table, far from the first and the last classified. In the last five games that Hull City played as a visitor, in all of them they scored more than 1.5 goals and in four they scored more than 2.5 goals. We believe that in this match the Hull City, even playing away from home, will be able to score goals and favor another open game.
