Betting on Millwall
It looks like Millwall got tired of dropping points and managed to secure a 2-0 victory over Preston. The team is fighting to be part of the Playoff and is close to achieving it, but it must avoid suffering any setbacks in its remaining four matches to get there. Before this victory, the team had remained winless for four games, and it had also gone scoreless for a total of 395 minutes.
Either way, Millwall has recorded the sixth-highest number of wins this season with 18 victories, 11 draws, and 13 losses. These positive numbers are mainly due to the team’s defensive efforts, as it has only conceded 41 goals, making it the fourth-best team on that regard.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): George Long; Danny McNamara, Shaun Hutchinson, Jake Cooper, Scott Malone; Billy Mitchell, George Saville; Oliver Burke, Zian Flemming, Andreas Voglsammer; Tom Bradshaw
Betting on Birmingham City
Birmingham City has struggled throughout the season, recording 13 wins, 11 draws, and 18 losses in 42 matches. As a result, the team is currently in the bottom eight of the overall standings with 50 points.
Its recent defeat to Sunderland, with a score of 2-1, means it has not won any of its last three matches. Before that, Birmingham drew against Reading and Stoke. These results make us believe that if the team has struggled against teams with a lower or similar performance, it is possible that this match, against one of the top six teams, will be difficult. However, it is worth remembering that these teams drew 0-0 when they faced each other in November last year.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): John Ruddy; Maxime Colin, Marc Roberts, Kevin Long, Auston Trusty; Juninho Bacuna, Krystian Bielik; Tahith Chong, Jobe Bellingham, Reda Khadra; Lukas Jutkiewicz
JefeBet Prediction
This match should not be a big problem for Millwall, which got back to its winning ways last weekend. The home team will be looking to win the match to keep its aspirations alive, and facing a struggling opponent is the perfect opportunity to do so and to earn the three points.
Millwall has won its last two home matches against this rival, and it has only lost in one of their last five encounters, so even the series’ record seems to favor the team.
