Stoke City - Millwall predictions

Though Stoke City are the favourites between these two teams, this is a fairly balanced matchup. All three possible outcomes of a Result bet are quite possible, which at least means we may get to see an exciting game.

From the present perspective, the situation is evident. Considering the strength of Stoke and the fact that Millwall are given 3.02 odds to win, it is clear that anything but a home win would be a remarkable surprise.

Few people saw the previous victory of The Potters coming. The odds for them to beat Blackburn Rovers were priced at 3.70, but the match remained in a stalemate throughout the first half. As the game progressed, however, a string of extraordinary goals led Stoke City to a surprise away victory 0:2.

Millwall are bursting with confidence after their latest Championship home victory. Despite being tagged clear underdogs in the matchup against Leeds United, they were ahead at both half time and the final whistle.

Stoke City are on a string of 5 away games that ended with 2 goals or less as the final score. Their approach might change because of the home-field advantage, but we would stay away from Over 2.5 bets.

Millwall’s defence has been flawless for the last 3 matches with a grand total of zero goals conceded.

Michael Rose, Ben Wilmot, Ben Pearson will all have to sit this one out due to injuries, leaving the home team’s lineup in a weakened state. They still have an advantage according to betting prices, but it may not be as notable as it would have been otherwise.

Thankfully, Millwall will be able to bring out their roster in full force, with no players forced to the sidelines due to injury or suspension. They’re still considered underdogs, mind you, but it’s something to consider.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1.57. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
