History of the Millwall v Watford fixture

Watford face a trip to Millwall at The Den on Sunday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Hornets will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 22 and win only 10 of the 43 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2004, with Watford inflicting a narrow 1 - 2 defeat upon the The Lions in a League Division One match.
