Watford - Millwall betting tips and odds

Watford might be heading into this game as firm favourites to get a win but they will have their work cut out for them as Millwall are known to be highly unpredictable and capable of pulling a surprise when it is least expected.

The matchup this Saturday is rather one-sided, with Millwall seen as the clear underdogs. Most bookmakers online have priced their victory at 3.75, which is enough to doubt such an outcome will happen.

The previous Championship round brought a morale-boosting away victory for Watford who managed to withdraw the first-half pressure and inflict a lethal blow in the second half to claim a Swansea City triumph.

The away team are here after a close home defeat in their previous Championship matchup. Most bookies agreed that they were the underdogs going in, and the undecided first half didn’t change any opinions. Blackburn Rovers, the away team, ultimately took the lead in the second half and won the game 1:2.

Watford’s past two matches only feature a goal or less each. As such, you may want to consider an Under 2.5 bet – or even Under 1.5, if you’re feeling confident.

The most relevant bit of history we have for Millwall is their high concession rate at recent home games. After more than 5 goals conceded in 3 games, their fans have warranted concerns over the squad’s defensive performance.

With several consecutive victories against The Hornets last season, the visitors may be able to beat the odds and come out on top in this matchup. Although the victories were recorded in the previous season, they weren’t even close calls and all ended with Millwall leading by 2 goals or more.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 1 odds offer a decent return.
