Huddersfield vs Millwall prediction: ENGLAND: Championship betting tips on match 2022-10-28 14:00.
The only way is surely up for Huddersfield Town after the Championship’s bottom side drew 0-0 with Middlesbrough last time out to make it three winless league matches in a row (D1, L2). Despite them beginning to lose touch with safety, manager Mark Fotheringham was delighted about the clean sheet, stating “I want them to have as many clean sheets as possible to give us a base to play offensive football.”
There’s not been much offensive football from the Terriers at home recently as they haven’t scored more than twice in a home Championship game since mid-August (W3, D1, L4 this term). If goals are once again to be at a premium, striking first could be important as in none of those fixtures did the side netting the opener go on to lose.
Millwall are among a cluster of teams jostling for position in the top six and start the round just six points off the top of the table following four straight league wins, two of them secured by a goal after the 75th minute. Manager Gary Rowett said he was delighted with his outfit’s “resilience and energy” as they came from behind to beat West Bromwich Albion 2-1 last weekend.
Aiming to make it five consecutive Championship wins, which they last managed in March, one of those late strikes helped the Lions beat Bristol City 2-1 in their last league away game, their first Championship road win since that five-game winning run (D6, L6). This could be a tricky proposition though as they’ve only won one of the last eight H2Hs Huddersfield have hosted (D2, L5).
Players to watch: Huddersfield’s Danny Ward has scored three times against Millwall, twice netting before the 15th minute while Zian Flemming, Millwall’s matchwinner against Bristol City, has not lost a goalscoring outing this term (W3, D1).
Hot stat: Ahead of the matchday, Millwall had scored a league-low average of 0.29 first-half Championship goals per game away from home.
