MATCH FACTS: MILLWALL VS CARDIFF

Cardiff City head to Millwall on Saturday with renewed confidence following two straight home wins under the leadership of Russell Slade. After ending the prolonged unbeaten runs of Forest and the Tractor Boys in the past seven days, City will be hoping to pick up all three points at the New Den. It's been eight games without a win for the Lions, after Ian Holloway's side started the season strongly.

Midfield dynamo Bailey has been a crucial member of the Millwall team since signing from Middlesbrough in summer 2013. Bailey cut his teeth in non-league football with Barnet, before moving into the Football League with the Bees. He left the club to join Southend before being picked up by Charlton Athletic in 2008. Nicky signed for Boro in 2010 for a substantial fee and spent three years with the club before moving on to the New Den. A tough tackling, all action midfielder, Bailey is known for giving his all for the cause.

31-year-old forward McDonald also joined the club from Middlesbrough in 2013, following a three year spell in the North East. The Australian shot into the spotlight with an impressive goal-scoring record in Scotland for Motherwell and Celtic. He has only scored once this season but should be considered a true goal threat should he get an opportunity in the penalty area.
