History of the Stoke City v Millwall fixture

Stoke City prepare to entertain Millwall at Britannia Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Potters are clearly on top, having won 13 and lost only 5 of the 23 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Britannia Stadium was just last season, in October 2004, the Potters carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a Championship match.

Recent respective form guides

Stoke City have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. Potters have conceded a disappointing 5 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 2 of their own chances.

Millwall's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the The Lions have hit 4 goals, 7 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Stoke City find themselves struggling down in 16th position in the league having picked up 40 points from their 33 matches. Millwall are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca Cola Championship with a return of just 29 points from their 35 games thus far.
