Leicester vs Millwall prediction: ENGLAND: Championship betting tips on match 2023-12-12 19:45.
With a 4-0 home win over Plymouth at the weekend, Leicester made it 16 victories from their 20 Championship matches so far this season (D1, L3) as their bid for an instant return to the Premier League continues to gather momentum. Next, the Foxes will chase making history as they welcome Millwall to the King Power Stadium and look to become the joint-quickest side to reach 50 points in England’s second-tier since the division was rebranded in 2004.
Leicester’s home form has played a huge part in their success this season as they’ve won eight of their ten outings (L2) on home soil, the last six of which have all been accompanied by a clean sheet. Overall, that’s seen them concede just four times at the King Power this campaign – the fewest home goals of any side in the Championship to date!
That’ll make it hard for visiting Millwall to grab a positive result during this midweek visit, especially as they again fell to defeat on Saturday with a 1-0 away loss to Cardiff. As a result, they begin this latest round sat in 19th spot, just two points above the relegation places and a lengthy distance behind their pre-season play-off ambitions.
Surprisingly, a return to the road is likely to be good news for the Lions, who currently possess the worst home record in the division (W2, D2, L6), whilst each of their last two wins have come on their travels. Three of their last five away league matches against Leicester have also seen them win ‘to nil’, which could be their best route to gaining some much-needed confidence before this latest trip!
Players to watch: Leicester’s Stephy Mavididi netted a brace at the weekend to take his Championship tally to five goals this season. As for Millwall, Zian Flemming could be their danger man as his last three league goals have all come on the road.
Hot stat: None of the last 13 H2Hs have ended level (LEI: W6, L7).
