Round 45 of the 2025/26 EFL Championship season presents a high-stakes clash between Leicester City and Millwall. With just two matches remaining, this fixture carries enormous weight for the East London side, who are firmly entrenched in the promotion race and currently occupy a top-two position. In contrast, Leicester have already been relegated to League One following a 2–2 draw with Hull City.

Leicester team overview
Leicester’s season has been defined by inconsistency and defensive vulnerability, a combination that has ultimately seen them relegated to League One exactly ten years after their Premier League triumph. They sit seven points adrift of safety, with Blackburn Rovers occupying the final safe spot on 49 points, and just two games remaining.
Recent form further illustrates their struggles. Leicester have managed only one win in their last six Championship fixtures, including defeats to Swansea, Portsmouth and QPR, alongside draws against Sheffield Wednesday and Preston. More broadly, they have secured just one victory across their last 17 matches in all competitions, a run that has effectively sealed their fate.
In terms of availability, Leicester are dealing with multiple absentees, including defensive options, which has contributed to their fragile backline throughout the season.

Millwall team overview
Millwall arrive in stark contrast, enjoying a strong end to the season and pushing hard for automatic promotion. They recently climbed into second place after a convincing 3-1 win over Stoke, reinforcing their credentials as one of the division’s most in-form sides.
Their recent results reflect consistency: wins over Middlesbrough, Derby and QPR along with competitive draws against Ipswich and West Brom. Even more crucially, Millwall sit on top of the EFL Championship standings for the most points accumulated in away matches - Alex Neil’s men have collected 40 points from 22 away fixtures.
Like Leicester, Millwall also have some injury concerns, but their squad depth and tactical cohesion under pressure have allowed them to maintain performance levels during the run-in.

Prediction
Millwall are likely to control the game and exploit Leicester’s defensive gaps. While Leicester may still find the net, their inability to sustain performance over 90 minutes remains a critical issue. More importantly, Millwall have beaten Leicester in each of the last two Championship head-to-head meetings, winning both by a 1-0 scoreline.
Prediction: Millwall to Win.
Three reasons we expect Millwall to Win
- Millwall have recorded back-to-back 1-0 wins over Leicester in recent meetings.
- Millwall have also won consecutive league matches and will be highly motivated as they look to potentially secure automatic promotion to the Premier League this weekend.
- Leicester have already been relegated and are winless in their last seven league outings.
