Millwall vs Hull prediction: ENGLAND: Championship betting tips on match 2023-10-06 14:00.
In order to push on into the top six, Millwall must start translating their away form into games at The Den. They picked up an impressive 2-0 win at Plymouth in midweek, the second victory collected on their travels this term to extend their record to one defeat in five (D2), which is in stark contrast to their results on home soil, where the Lions have lost four and won just two across all competitions.
Gary Rowett’s side would be seventh in the Championship based on away games alone, and 17th based on home clashes, an indication of how much their South London woes are hampering them. Statistically, they’ll fancy their chances against Hull given they’ve been defeated by the Tigers just twice in the last 13 home H2Hs, with those games split across the Old Den and the New Den (W5, D6) dating back to August 1986.
Liam Rosenior’s Tigers also head to the capital deflated, having been thumped 3-0 by Ipswich in midweek. That was their second league defeat of the season but a first since the opening day at Norwich, so East Anglia clearly isn’t a happy hunting ground for them! Over 56% of their points have been picked up away from home though, with three wins from four including a win at promotion favourites Leicester, the Foxes only defeat in league action this term.
Tuesday’s loss at Portman Road saw City fail to find the back of the net for just a second time this term, but that wasn’t for the want of trying having sent six shots on target of an overall 13. If anything is likely to hinder Hull even more though, it’s their tendency to concede after the break, with the fact they’ve conceded after the hour mark in four of their five away league games this term raising small doubts over their credentials for a top
Players to watch: Dutchman Zian Flemming enjoyed a 14-goal haul for the Lions last term, and he’ll hope a goal and an assist in the midweek win at Plymouth can ignite his season. Hull’s summer recruit Jaden Phiolgene-Bidace is similarly influential for his side, with two assists to his name from his last three games.
Hot streak: None of Millwall’s five home league games this term have seen both teams score.
