Huddersfield vs Millwall prediction: ENGLAND: Championship betting tips on match 2024-04-05 14:00.
[p]With 18 points to fight for and four points separating them, a relegation six-pointer is brewing between Huddersfield and Millwall at the John Smith’s Stadium this weekend. The Terriers missed a chance to get out of the bottom three earlier this week, as their 1-1 draw against Stoke City on Monday left them a point adrift of safety and extended their winless run to six matches (D3, L3).[/p]
[p]Just five points separate Huddersfield from the five teams directly above them coming into the round, yet their goal difference is the worst of the lot (-21) which could prove costly come the end of the campaign. They therefore need to try and improve quickly, but while scoring hasn’t been a problem as evidenced by Huddersfield scoring a goal in 12 consecutive league home matches, a four-game winless streak (D1, L3) at this venue doesn’t bode well. [/p]
[p]Millwall missed the chance to confirm Rotherham’s relegation and take a sizeable step towards their own safety on Monday when they lost 2-1. A three-game winless run (D1, L2) has put some jitters in the Lions’ camp as the positives of a four-match unbeaten sequence (W3, D1) immediately prior is now all but washed away. Their confidence won’t be helped by travelling to this venue where they have lost 1-0 on their last two visits. [/p]
[p]The reverse fixture in December was also heading for a 1-0 finish, before a stoppage-time penalty for Huddersfield saw the game end in a draw, extending Millwall’s winless H2H run to three (D1, L2). Conceding late has become a consistent problem lately, as the visitors have let in the last goal of the match and failed to win their last three league trips (D1, L2).[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Jack Rudoni usually reserves his best for last, as his last five league goals have been Huddersfield’s final strike of the contest. Millwall’s Duncan Watmore is a sharp contrast, scoring the match opener with his two league goals this season. He has also netted three goals in seven personal H2Hs. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Millwall have won a league-low three points after falling behind (D3, L18) this season.[/p]
