Millwall vs Leicester prediction: ENGLAND: Championship betting tips on match 2024-04-08 18:45.
[p]Relegation fears continue to mount at Millwall, where the honeymoon period is well and truly over for Neil Harris less than two months after he returned for his second spell as permanent manager. A 1-0 defeat to relegation rivals Huddersfield at the weekend means the club continue to sink towards the bottom three thanks to a worrying run of four games without a victory (D1, L3).[/p]
[p]The Lions have finished no lower than 11th across their last four seasons in the second tier, but now sit only two points above the dotted line as a return to League One looms large. At least the Londoners have finally found some form at The Den, where they are unbeaten across three outings (W2, D1), with those fixtures accounting for nearly a third of the 23 points they have accumulated on home soil this season.[/p]
[p]Championship leaders Leicester will look to end that run, buoyed by returning to the division’s summit with a 2-1 win against Birmingham on Saturday. That was a second successive victory for the Foxes, who will hope the mini blip of one win in six matches (D1, L4) that initially saw them knocked off their perch is well and truly behind them.[/p]
[p]Enzo Maresca described the weekend win as “very special,” and with a slim two-point cushion down to the play-off positions, he knows City will have to continue picking up victories if they are to secure an immediate return to the Premier League. Recent history suggests they should be confident of success in this fixture, as they have beaten Millwall in five of the last six H2Hs (L1), scoring at least two goals in each win. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Millwall will be hoping midfielder George Saville has got his shooting boots on, as he has won ten of the last 13 games in which he has scored (D2, L1). Ricardo Pereira has netted in both of Leicester’s wins over the Lions this season, while seven of his last eight strikes for the club have come after half-time.  [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Ten of the 28 home goals Millwall have conceded this season arrived after the 75th minute.[/p]
