Millwall vs Watford Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

Prediction published on 02/03/2024, 01:34  by Sridhar in Championship Predictions

Millwall will look to continue their resurgence under new manager Neil Harris and pile on more misery over struggling Watford this weekend. This English Championship match will be played at The Den on Saturday, with the hosts 20th and the visitors 11th ahead of this round. Millwall are just a point above the bottom three, but they are coming off a massive win. A 2-1 victory over promotion-chasing Southampton was just the boost they needed. The returning manager Harris couldn’t have asked more, as his side halted a dire run of seven matches, where they lost six matches. The challenge is to keep the buzz awake at home, which hasn’t been a pleasant venue for them this season. Millwall won just two of their last eight league games at this venue, losing three—all of which have come since the turn of 2024.

Watford are still theoretically in the running for a top-six spot, but the 11-point gap is now looking like a mountain. It was all their own undoing, as the Hornets fell to four defeats in their last five league games. That included a 2-1 defeat to Huddersfield last time out. In fact, with only two wins from their last 11 league games, there’s a lot of pressure on the visitors. Despite all these recent hiccups, their form remains sturdy, which is a surprise. Watford have lost only one of their last nine away league games, where they have won five and drawn three matches. Having drawn 2-2 in the reverse fixture, the visitors won’t mind being on the road and will stay true to their recent away record.
