Millwall's game plan centres on physicality and aerial dominance, with a compact defence and a strong midfield that excels at interceptions. At home, they concede less than one goal per match on average, relying on set-pieces for scoring opportunities. Their tactics involve a defensive approach, with a focus on narrowing the penalty area and employing a double defensive midfielder setup to restrict the opposition's penetration. The forward line, featuring Bradshaw and Wallace, threatens through counter-attacks and crosses from the wings. Captain Clarke's midfield presence is crucial to their defensive intensity. Despite recent consecutive losses, their home win rate exceeds 67%. They are likely to stick to a strategy of 'defend and counter' combined with aerial bombardment, using high-intensity physical play to disrupt their opponents' passing rhythm. Ipswich Town maintains a high level of ball possession, with their attack relying on quick midfield transitions and inside runs from their wingers. Their striker, Ladapo, has scored 11 goals and provided 3 assists this season, making him a key player in their attack. They are adept at breaking down high defensive lines with short passing, and their full-backs advance to widen the attack. However, their high defensive line can leave space on the flanks, and their away defence is less stable, conceding 1.2 goals per game on average. Ipswich needs to be wary of Millwall's counter-attacks, controlling the midfield and utilising pace on the flanks to exploit space behind their defence, whilst also protecting their own defensive line.
