Crystal Palace vs Millwall: Predictions Preview, Lineups, H2h for September 17, 2025

On Tuesday, Crystal Palace will face Millwall in the Carabao Cup third round at Selhurst Park in London. This match has potential for an interesting outcome.

Match preview

This season, Crystal Palace has focused on strong defense, managing five clean sheets in six matches. However, their attack has been less effective, scoring just one goal in the last two games, leading to a struggle for creativity.

At home, Palace has been consistent, achieving seven wins in their last nine matches from the previous season and remaining unbeaten in the current one. With the support of their fans, they aim to assert their status as favorites.

Millwall, managed by Alex Neil, has navigated successfully through two rounds of the League Cup, but their league performance is concerning, sitting in 13th place with only seven points from five games. They have struggled offensively, generating only seven significant chances so far, which ranks among the lowest in the Championship.

Despite these issues, Millwall has shown strength away from home, securing three wins and a draw while conceding few goals. However, their recent track record against Palace is not promising, as they have not won in their last six encounters.

Probable lineups

• Crystal Palace: Benítez, Clyne, Lacroix, Guehi, Muñoz, Hughes, Devenny, Mitchell, Esse, Kamada, Mateta
• Millwall: Benda, Leonard, Taylor, Cooper, Bryan, Negli, Luongo, Candle, Emakhu, Ivanović, Coburn
