Betting on Millwall
This Saturday, Millwall not only has a great opportunity to get back on track with a win, but also to solidify their position in one of the playoffs spots to fight for the promotion to the Premier League.
After 39 rounds played, the Lions are currently sitting in fifth place in the league table with 61 points, just four points above Norwich and Coventry in positions that would leave them without a chance to move up a division.
To avoid this disaster, Gary Rowett’s team has the fifth-best defense in the Championship, having only conceded 40 goals so far this season. What’s more, they’re one of the best teams in the league when playing at home.
With 35 points earned, Millwall is sixth in the league in terms of points obtained at home, and even though they’ve lost two of their last three matches, the 17 goals allowed on their home turf is the fourth-lowest number in the league.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): George Long; Danny McNamara, Charlie Cresswell, Jake Cooper, Murray Wallace; Ryan Leonard, George Saville; George Honeyman, Zian Flemming, Andreas Voglsammer; Tom Bradshaw.
Betting on Luton Town
Luton Town visits a direct rival for the promotion playoffs this Saturday, hoping to maintain their distance from them and move closer to a possible direct place in the Premier League.
Thanks to six straight games without defeat, including five wins in that span, the Hatters are firmly in fourth place with 67 points, six more than Millwall, and six behind Sheffield United in second place for a direct ticket to the Premier League.
If Millwall’s defense is among the best in the league, Luton’s is much more consistent, conceding just 35 goals in the campaign. In fact, in their last five victories, opponents were unable to score against them and in the last 12 games they conceded only four goals.
As a visitor, his performance is also not getting any better. In 19 games, they have the third-highest number of points scored on the road with 35, have not lost in eight games on other people’s fields and are co-leaders in terms of the fewest goals allowed with 16.
Probable lineup (3-4-1-2): Ethan Horvath; Gabriel Osho, Lockyer, Amari’i Bell; Cody Drameh, Marvelous Nakamba, Alfie Doughty, Luke Berry; Allan Campbell; Carlton Morris, Elijah Adebayo.
JefeBet Prediction
The last two meetings between the two teams have seen four total goals on the scoreboard, something that will not be repeated in this Saturday’s match.
Both clubs have a lot at stake this weekend and will of course bring out the best weapon they have: their defense. Millwall has one of the best defenses in the league, having only allowed a few goals so far this season. On the other hand, Luton Town has the third-best defense, having also kept their opponents from scoring many goals.
In their last seven away games, Millwall has only scored or allowed one goal in most of their matches, while 11 of Luton Town’s last 12 Championship games have ended with two goals or fewer on the scoreboard.
Prediction: Under (MIL 1 – LUT 1).
