Millwall - Barnsley betting tips and odds

The home team is the obvious choice for anyone looking to bet on favourites. The match is not completely one-sided, though, which is why you may actually get worthwhile returns.

The situation is crystal clear from the current perspective. Given the strength of the home team and the fact Barnsley are given 6.00 betting odds to win, a conclusion is not difficult to reach. Anything but a home win would be an incredible surprise.

The 2.15 betting odds pointed out Millwall as the most likely winners of their previous Championship bout, which made sense considering the home-field advantage. However, they failed to break the stalemate for more than half the match and eventually lost to a 1-goal difference.

Barnsley’s lead at half-time of their previous home game gave them hope for a surprise victory. Unfortunately, their opponents Reading managed to salvage a 1:1 draw before the end.

Millwall have a track record of home games ending with a relatively small number of goals. Specifically, their previous 5 Championship home games ended with two goals or fewer in total.

Barnsley’s last five Championship appearances all confirmed the Under 2.5 Market, which is why betting predictions point out this market as a good idea.

Millwall clearly have the upper hand in this matchup, though it doesn’t seem insurmountable by any means. They won despite a home-field disadvantage the last time they clashed with The Tykes, but it was a rather narrow victory.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

Our advice is to go for an Under 2.5 Goals market, though it was likely not your first instinct. While the probability is rather low compared to what you’re used to from Under 2.5 bets, it compares favourably to the 1.67 odds offered by bet365.
