Recent respective form guides

Millwall's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. The Lions have conceded a disappointing 7 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 2 of their own chances.

Port Vale's away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 7 leaked at the wrong end.

Millwall are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 15 points from their 15 games thus far. Port Vale's 22 points from 15 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.
