Analysis Millwall

The home team comes to this stage of the FA Cup (5th Round) after having played in the previous rounds against: Watford, AFC Bournemouth, Braintree Town and Southend United. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses in away matches; against 11 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses at their stadium. In their last match, for the League One, they got a home win against Port Vale by (2‑0). In the last 4 FA Cup home matches Millwall has a record of 4 wins.

They have won the last 4 matches for this competition. They have presented defensive consistency, since they have only suffered goals in 1 of the last 4 matches, and their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in all of the last 4 matches for this competition.

Millwall's side kicks off with a 2-0 home win over Port Vale in a game for the English third division: goals were scored by O'Brien and Cooper. In this game against the English Premier League champion, Coach Neil Harris should keep the usual 4-4-2 benefiting the low block and the long balls for Steve Morison and Fred Onuedinma. However, the main highlight of the home team so far is striker Lee Gregory with 11 goals. Apparently there are no absences of weight to register for this match.

Confirmed Lineup: Jordan Archer, Shaun Cummings, B. Webster, Tony Craig, Jake Cooper, Calum Butcher, Shaun Williams, Fred Onyedinma, Shane Ferguson, Aiden O'Brien.
Coach: S. Morison, G. Rowett.

Analysis Leicester

The away team comes to this stage of the FA Cup (5th Round) after havinf played in the previous rounds against: Derby County and Everton. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 1 win, 5 draws and 9 losses in away matches, with 10 goals scored and 29 conceded; against 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 21 goals scored and 19 conceded. In their last match, for the Premier League, they got an away loss against Swansea City by (2‑0). In the last 10 away matches Leicester City has won 1, tied 3 and lost 6. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 10 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 20 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 18 of their 43 goals between minutes (31'‑45').

Leicester City side is struggling in the English Premier League and is now only one point ahead of Hull City, the first team in the relegation zone. Recall that on the last day, Leicester lost away from home to Swansea 2-0. In this match for the FA Cup, Coach Claudio Ranieri should draw his team in 4-2-3-1 benefiting possession and the attacks organized mainly by the runners: Riyad Mahrez is responsible for carrying the ball to the attack. Islam Slinani and Jamie Vardy are the highlights of Leicester City with 5 goals scored, however, it should be noted that both are not in a good phase. By all means the outgoing coach can already count on the only unavailable so far, striker Leonardo Ulloa.

Confirmed Lineup: Ron-Robert Zieler, Daniel Amartey, Ben Chilwell, Molla Wagué, Yohan Benalouane, Nampalys Mendy, Bartosz Kapustka , Andy King, Shinji Okazaki, Ahmed Musa, Demarai Gray .
Coach: B. Rodgers.
