Millwall v Hull: play-off rivals eye momentum at The Den | OneFootball

Millwall host Hull City in the Championship at The Den on Saturday, 13 December 2025, with both sides in the promotion play-off places and looking to tighten their grip on the top six.

Millwall sit third on 35 points, with Hull City sixth on 31. The recent head to head has been cagey, featuring plenty of draws, and the visitors won 1-0 here in January.

The Lions come in off three wins in four before a draw at Derby. Hull have mixed recent form, beating Stoke and Wrexham but losing to Ipswich, Middlesbrough and at QPR.

The hosts are without goalkeeper Lukas Jensen plus midfielders Ryan Leonard and Billy Mitchell, among others. For Hull, top scorer Joe Gelhardt is sidelined, with Kasey Palmer and John Lundstram also out.

The Lions' route may run through wide supply and aerial threat, with five headed goals and creator Thierno Ballo on four assists, while Femi Azeez has six league goals. Hull could lean on Ryan Giles' delivery and Oliver McBurnie's penalty box presence.

A home win would strengthen the Lions' hold on the top six and close the gap to the automatic places. Victory for Hull could solidify their play-off spot and push them towards the top four.
