What Happened
Millwall FC is set to host Birmingham City at The Den on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, in a crucial Championship match. This encounter comes after Millwall suffered a significant 4-0 defeat to Birmingham earlier in the season, marking a rare setback in their promotion campaign.
Why It Matters
Currently positioned third in the Championship table with 56 points, Millwall is striving for a top-two finish to secure promotion to the Premier League. The Lions are looking to bounce back from a recent loss to Portsmouth and regain momentum in their pursuit of promotion. Meanwhile, Birmingham City, sitting seventh with 49 points, aims to achieve their first league double over Millwall since 2013, which would enhance their playoff aspirations.
What’s Next
As both teams enter this match in competitive form, Millwall will rely on their strong home record, having won nine matches at The Den this season. Birmingham, on the other hand, is unbeaten since January, with five wins in their last eight games. The outcome of this match could significantly impact both teams’ standings in the Championship as they continue their quest for promotion.
