Leeds Millwall prediction 2024-03-17

Leeds vs Millwall prediction: ENGLAND: Championship betting tips on match 2024-03-16 15:00.
[p]After ending a resurgent Sheffield Wednesday’s four-match winning streak last Friday, Leeds United moved back into the Championship’s automatic promotion places, but with only nine games remaining and Ipswich Town right on their shoulder, Daniel Farke’s men must see every encounter from now on as a must-win if they’re to secure a top-two finish or even lift the title.  [/p]

[p]Welcoming a Millwall side who Leeds have beaten in ten of the last 12 home regular-season league H2Hs should inspire confidence of continuing their promotion charge, especially as the Yorkshire outfit have posted seven straight Championship victories at Elland Road to maintain their unbeaten home league record this campaign, with five of those consecutive wins here coming without reply. [/p]

[p]Millwall had looked set for a relegation dogfight under previous head coach Joe Edwards before the turnaround under his recent successor Neil Harris. However, the Lions are a massive 15 points off the top six ahead of this weekend and their current points haul (43) isn’t enough to ensure survival yet, so their motivation for the remainder of 2023/24 must be to stay up, an aim helped by their current purple patch since Harris’ appointment (W3, D1).[/p]

[p]That four-game run equals Harris’ best-ever start to a managerial tenure, with the same record after four matches during his stint at Cardiff City. He did lose the fifth game 2-1 in that sequence, and the odds suggest that a similar outcome may be on the cards here, although their 61% unbeaten rate as away league outsiders this term shows that they’ve often defied the bookmakers (W5, D6, L7). [/p]

[p]Players to watch: Leeds’ Daniel James is set to represent Wales during this month’s crucial UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying play-offs after his impressive league form, which has seen all 11 of his goals this campaign come in victories (W10). Trying to stop him will be Tottenham Hotspur loanee Japhet Tanganga, who has scored two of Millwall’s five goals during Harris’ latest stint, as well as picking up yellow cards in three of his last five appearances. [/p]

[p]Hot stat: Just one of the last 25 regular-season league H2Hs has ended level (LEE: W14, D1, L10). [/p]
