Fulham hosts Millwall in round 4 of English Championship. The match will be played on Wednesday, August 21st atCraven Cottage (London)
The Cottagers are undoubtedly one of the strongest teams in the league on paper. However, history already knows a lot of examples when a club that had relegated from the Premier League lost several leaders and was not ready to regain lost ground immediately. Fulham had already been in such a situation like, so it knows what to do. But it does not negate the fact that they may spend more time on buildup than they planned. And in such a period, teams like Millwall pose a greater risk to the former residents of the Premier League than the conditionally even more disassembled “brother in misfortune” - Huddersfield. In the first round, the Cottagers have already received a slap from a similar audacious team, which does not set high tasks s but knows how to stand up for itself. And there are prerequisites for such a slap once again.

Few expected to see the Lions from east London in the upper echelon of the standings after the first three rounds. Of course, the Championship has its atmosphere, and everything can turn upside down more than once during the season. However, the latest successes of Millwall are very difficult to attribute to a common set of circumstances. Having the uncomfortable starting calendar, the Lions have squeezed the maximum so far: they have already managed to put spokes in West Bromwich’s wheel twice a week (both in the Championship and the league cup), and this team is one of the most obvious candidates for promotion.
One of London's derbies promises to be benign for the visitors of the Craven Cottage. Millwall has always been noted for intransigence in the games with nominal favorites, which was shown in the last season. Now the team should be on a high emotional lift, which can be doubly dangerous for eminent hosts.
Prediction for the match: Millwall to win with +0.5 handicap
