Hull vs Millwall sets up an intriguing Championship play-off semi-final despite the 6th vs 3rd seeding. These teams were neck-and-neck for most of the season, with Hull only securing their play spot on the final day. Both have proven capable of beating the other on home turf, making this anything but a predictable two-legged tie.

Oli McBurnie has been Hull's talisman with 17 goals and 7 assists, while Millwall boasts defensive solidity through Jake Cooper. The aerial battle between McBurnie (148 aerial duels won) and Cooper (271 aerial duels won) could prove decisive. Millwall's Femi Azeez adds attacking flair after being named to the Championship Team of the Season.

Hull captain Lewie Coyle has personal motivation, having watched the club's previous play-off successes from Leeds. This comes just a year after Hull avoided relegation on goal difference. With Millwall holding home advantage in the second leg and better recent form, they're slight favorites despite Hull's unpredictability and ability to win against the odds.
