Leicester want to go straight into the Premier League

The English Championship is the toughest 2nd division in the world, which is once again impressively confirmed this season. Many clubs have good and then weaker phases, series start and then break again. Leicester are one of the teams that have been very stable so far

The Millwall vs. Leicester prediction of the bookmakers shows a favorite role for the guests. The Foxes are individually superior and want to show that on the pitch. If they succeed, things look good as far as direct promotion is concerned, as Leicester are in a good starting position

However, away games at Millwall are never easy. The atmosphere is heated, which often spills over onto the pitch. In any case, this could also lead to a more hectic game in which a few goals are scored

Millwall – Statistics & current form

Millwall FC is a traditional club in England. However, the team from the Championship is currently in anything but good form with manager Neil Harris. After the 1-0 defeat at Huddersfield, there are growing concerns about their chances of avoiding relegation. Millwall are in crisis, are conceding too much and have hardly any reliable goalscorers or attacking players at all.

They have not won any of their last four games, picking up just one point in this phase. At least Millwall have had better results at home than away recently, picking up seven points from three games. However, Leicester are now one of the best teams in the league, also in the individual area. It will be a tricky task, especially as only a few points have been scored against the top teams this season.

Millwall have conceded 54 goals in 41 games so far, which is not an absolutely catastrophic result, especially in this difficult league. However, the defense is of course no bulwark either. The goal difference is still slightly in Millwall’s favor in the fight against relegation, although they are now only two points ahead of 22nd place. And there are only five league games left

The program speaks a little for Millwall

The remaining program is encouraging. After the game against the current league leaders, against whom Millwall were also knocked out of the FA Cup this season, there are only duels with teams in eleventh place or lower on the program. Millwall therefore have their place in the league in their own hands. Nevertheless, the Millwall vs Leicester odds show that the home side are the underdogs.

And precisely because the balance has been lacking from time to time recently, our prediction before the game between Millwall and Leicester is that the visitors will continue their path and win the game

And who knows, maybe the hosts can surprise in this game and celebrate another success after the last positive home performances. But everything has to come together for that to happen.

Predicted Millwall line-up:

Leicester – Statistics & current form

Leicester City are aiming for a direct return to the Premier League and after a bit of a slump with a bit of unrest around the club in terms of financial elements, they managed to jump back into first place. At the weekend, Leicester won their home game against Birmingham 2:1.

One of the secrets of Leicester’s success under coach Enzo Maresca is, of course, their attacking approach. Three players have already scored double figures for the season, including Jamie Vardy of course, who has netted 14 times. The fact that several players are capable of scoring and then also score regularly speaks volumes for the team.

The only thing that counts for the Foxes is promotion to the Premier League and this should happen as directly as possible. The background to this is also the fact that the visitors have accumulated a lot of debt and are threatened with a points deduction if they do not reduce it. Leicester have won their last two games after a three-game winless streak

Leicester ahead in the odds

That’s definitely encouraging again. The bookmakers see the visitors ahead in this clash and expect the Foxes to win. This is also reflected in the betting odds ahead of this clash between Millwall and Leicester. The visitors’ biggest advantage is still their own offense, which has already scored 79 goals.

However, with 36 goals conceded in 40 games so far, the defense has also done a lot to secure the top position. They are one point ahead of second place and two points ahead of third place, but Leicester also have a catch-up game against Southampton, which could provide an additional boost if they win.

The visitors’ attacking approach could result in a high-scoring game. A bet on more than 2.5 goals therefore seems anything but unrealistic

Predicted Leicester line-up:

Millwall – Leicester head-to-head comparison / H2H result

Millwall and Leicester have met in 46 matches so far. The hosts have emerged victorious 17 times, while Leicester have won 21 games, giving them the advantage. The first leg and the cup match this season went 3-2 to the Foxes, who have also scored 20 more goals than Millwall

Millwall – Leicester betting tip

Millwall want to prove that they can be a very unpleasant team to play against. The home side are the underdogs, but have been much better at home than away in recent weeks. However, Leicester have now returned to better form for this clash

That’s exactly why we’re recommending an away win for the Foxes ahead of the game between Millwall and Leicester. There is simply too much to be said for it and the visitors will want to secure promotion quickly now.
