Prediction published on 29/03/2024, 00:16  by Sridhar in Championship Predictions

Millwall will look to move further away from the relegation zone as they host a West Brom side that’s looking destined for the playoffs. This match at The Den will be hosted on Good Friday, with the hosts 16th with 43 points and the visitors fifth with 66 points. Millwall were beaten 2-0 by league leaders Leeds before the international break. It was the first of Neil Harris’ second stint as club manager, with the hosts starting this round four clear of the relegation zone. That’s largely down to the ten points they scored in four games prior to the defeat to Leeds. Two of those wins came with a clean sheet, and Millwall conceded just four goals in their last five games, a tribute to their improving defensive stability. The Den has played its part, as the hosts have won their last two matches at this venue, both by a 1-0 score against Watford and Birmingham.

West Brom have established themselves as serious top-six contenders and start this round safe in the knowledge that they are guaranteed to stay fifth irrespective of the results. They went into the international break with a comfortable 2-0 win over Bristol City, extending their unbeaten run to six matches, where they won four and drew two games. Eight points clear of seventh-placed Hull, the Baggies will nevertheless be looking to extend their good run of results. The reverse fixture ended goalless, but West Brom have scored 12 goals in their last five away trips, raising hopes of finding some goals here. They are likely to prove tough to beat, as the visitors are unbeaten in their last five away trips, winning two and drawing three.
