Portsmouth - Millwall predictions

Portsmouth have a big mountain to climb. The task ahead is difficult but not impossible but with 2.73 slapped on home win in this match, this one is for the risk-takers.

Out of their home field and heading into this match as underdogs, Millwall would need to play their best to have a hope of winning. That said, even a draw would be a positive outcome, and all three results are quite possible.

A Hull City defeat is something Portsmouth want to make a swift return from. This narrow loss from the previous round of the Championship came after a tied first half which had the host believing they might get at least a point in front of their home support.

Millwall’s latest Championship match ended in disappointment. A draw against Preston North End doesn’t sound too bad on paper, but we have to remember that top online bookies considered them favourites at odds of 2.30. Besides, it was a home game for them.

The hosts will be looking to cut down on the number of goals they concede. They’ve recorded more than 5 total concessions over the last 3 matches, which is usually a cause for concern.

Millwall’s recent track record shows a very concerning amount of concessions – 7 of them in their previous 3 matches, to be exact. While it’s obvious their defence has a lot of problems, Over markets might be a good option for this match.

If you’re looking for a relatively safe bet, this match can offer one with a Double Chance on Home or Draw. Priced at 1.44, it is extremely likely to be successful – even though the returns may be limited.
