MIllwall welcome Hull City to The Den on Saturday (15:00 GMT) seeking a first win in five, and a first under Alex Neil in the Championship.

The Lions are 14th and now 11 points adrift of the play-off places, with a seven-point gap to the third-bottom Tigers in the final relegation place.

The Tigers ended a five-match losing streak on their travels with a win last time out at Blackburn, while they pinched a point at home to Leeds in their most recent home game.

  • Millwall have failed to win any of their past five league games against Hull City (D3 L2), failing to score in four of those matches. The London outfit last endured a longer such run against the Tigers between January 1967 and January 1970 (six games).

  • Hull City have won just two of their 26 away league games against Millwall (D10 L14), drawing on five of their past six EFL visits to The Den (L1).

  • Millwall have won just one of their past 11 league games (D5 L5), though that did come at home to Blackburn in December; in fact, only Plymouth (100%) have seen a greater proportion of their total Championship wins this season come at home than the Lions (86% - 6/7).

  • Hull City have picked up eight points from their seven league games under manager Rubén Sellés (W2 D2 L3), more than across their 12 Championship matches prior (6 - W1 D3 L8).

  • Hull's Abu Kamara scored twice last time out against Leeds United, as many goals as he netted across his previous 32 league appearances for the Tigers and Portsmouth combined; he has never scored in back-to-back league outings
