Millwall - Birmingham City predictions

The home team are slightly stronger as far as most online bookies are concerned, but the difference is by no means insurmountable. Both a stalemate and a victory for Birmingham City are still on the table.

The visitors understand the difficulty of the task at hand. To beat Millwall on their own turf would be a major feat, and it is always a tough challenge.

Apoint is never as interesting as a punter would want it to be but Millwall will surely have been pleased with a Blackburn Rovers draw from the previous trip in the Championship. They return home for the Saturday clash feeling good about themselves after going level throughout both terms.

The visiting team earned a single point the last time they played away. This draw was way above what most predictions expected of them, though, especially after they fell behind in the early game. Most bookies offered a price of 5.00 for them to win, which was even further compounded by the home-field disadvantage.

A quick look at recent history shows us that Millwall don’t tend to fare too well at The Den despite the home-field advantage. Results aside, they’ve conceded more than 5 goals in their previous 3 home games alone.

Results and standings notwithstanding, Birmingham City have run into some defensive issues in this stretch of the Championship. In the past 3 matches, they allowed more than 5 goals to their opponents, which may be cause for concern for their supporters.

Millwall have had the chance to play against The Blues several times this season, albeit not always as part of the Championship. The matchup recorded several draws and failed to produce a winner so far, but the favourites Millwall are hoping to finally gain a clear advantage over their opponents.

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.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the 888Sport priced at 1.70 odds.
