Millwall vs West Brom prediction: ENGLAND: Championship betting tips on match 2024-03-28 13:00.
[p]Millwall’s appointment of Neil Harris last month for a second spell in charge was perceived by a lot of outsiders to be a desperate move, yet the Lions have collected ten points from a possible 15 since then. That run includes an eye-catching 2-1 win at promotion-chasing Southampton, lifting them four points clear of the drop zone ahead of the Easter weekend.[/p]
[p]And Millwall may feel optimistic about facing upcoming opponents West Bromwich Albion given that they have avoided defeat in their last five meetings with the Baggies (W2, D3). Playing on Good Friday also appears to be a lucky charm for the Lions, who haven’t lost any of their last nine league matches contested on that day (W5, D4). [/p]
[p]Despite their unfavourable recent H2H record, West Brom are enjoying a six-game unbeaten streak (W4, D2) which has helped to firmly cement themselves in the play-offs. They now enjoy an eight-point cushion over seventh-placed Hull, while their extremely healthy goal difference of +23 is comfortably superior to the chasing pack.[/p]
[p]Picking up three points at The Den would both end a remarkable 20-match winless away run on Good Friday (D6, L14), but as the Baggies have lost eight of their last 11 away H2Hs, there’ll be some psychological demons to banish on their latest trip. West Brom fans can at least be confident that their team will grow into the game, as they have scored 18 times on the road in the second half of Championship matches this season – only Coventry and Middlesbrough have managed more pre-round. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Since Harris’ appointment, Zian Flemming has scored winning goals against both Southampton and Watford. Looking to outshine him will be Okay Yokuşlu, who failed to directly contribute to a goal in the first 37 matches of the season, but has since recorded two in two (G1, A1). [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Millwall have picked up a league-high 89 yellow cards heading into this weekend. [/p]
