Hull have lost just one of their last five home games against Millwall (W3 D1), though it was a 3-1 defeat in March in this season’s Championship campaign.
Following their 3-1 win in March, Millwall are looking to win consecutive meetings with Hull in all competitions for the first time since April 2011.
This is Hull’s third appearance in the Championship play-offs, winning promotion to the Premier League on both previous occasions (2007-08 and 2015-16). However, the team finishing sixth hasn’t won the Championship play-offs since 2009-10 (Blackpool).
Millwall have reached the final in each of their last four Football League play-off appearances, with all of these coming in League One (2008-09, 2009-10, 2015-16, 2016-17). However, they’ve gone out in the semi-finals in all three of their second tier play-off campaigns (1990-91, 1993-94, 2001-02).
Hull have won the first leg of their semi-final tie in all three of their previous appearances in the Football League play-offs, keeping a clean sheet each time.
Millwall haven’t lost the first leg in any of their last six play-off semi-final ties (W2 D4), since a 2-0 loss at Derby in 1993-94.
Oliver McBurnie has scored four goals in his last five games, while he’s two goals away from becoming the first Hull player to score 20 in all competitions in a season since Mallik Wilks in 2020-21 (22).
Millwall’s Femi Azeez is one of just two players to have both scored 5+ goals (5) and provided 5+ assists (6) in the Championship in 2026, along with Jack Rudoni. Azeez’s 18 goal involvements in all competitions this season (11 goals, 7 assists) is his joint-best return in English football along with 2023-24 (9 goals, 9 assists).
