Bristol City Vs Millwall Preview
Although Bristol City lost to Walsall in the EFL Cup last week, the Robins will be confident of a vastly improved performance in their Championship opener. Especially as they have the likes of Sam Tickle, Lorent Tolaj and Dom Ballard to call upon.
Tolaj and Ballard netted 41 League goals between them last term and are expected to adapt well to England’s second tier. Robins fans will be hopeful the duo can develop into a formidable partnership up top and find their feet at this level sooner rather than later.
As for Millwall, they have kept hold of star players Tristan Crama and flying winger Femi Azeez. The latter helped the Lions defy the Championship betting odds last term when his efforts helped secure the south Londoners an unlikely play-off berth. Manager Alex Neil saw his side win on penalties against QPR last week as Lukas Jensen saved all four spot kicks.

Bristol City Vs Millwall Prediction
On paper, it’s tough one to call but we are going to predict a narrow Bristol City win in front of their own fans on MD1. The Robins have recruited extremely well this summer and although Millwall’s defence is hard to break down, we feel the threat posed by Lorent Tolaj and Dom Ballard will prove decisive.
