Millwall has shown a strong run of form lately, particularly impressive at home, where they've secured two wins in their last two matches without conceding a single goal.

Newcastle, on the other hand, presents a mixed bag of results in their recent performances. While they have managed to score an average of 1.80 goals in their last five outings, they have also conceded 1.40 goals per match, indicating some vulnerabilities at the back. Their away form is somewhat positive, with two wins and a draw from their last four games.
