Burnley vs Millwall Predictions

• Burnley beat Millwall 3-1 when these sides met at Turf Moor in the Championship last season.
• Millwall have won just one of their last seven away (D3, L3).
• The Lions have failed to score in their last two trips.

FA Cup respite for Clarets

Burnley are enduring a miserable season in the Premier League and the visit of Millwall in the FA Cup on Saturday could provide some much-needed respite from their relegation battle.

The Clarets are on a 12-game winless run but they have at least managed to turn the defeats into draws of late with three stalemates in their last five games.

Boss Scott Parker should name a strong team for Burnley in a bid to end that run without a victory, while Millwall have other priorities and they could rotate.

The Lions sit inside the play-off places in a congested Championship table and might rest a few regulars this weekend.

Burnley may be struggling in the top tier but they were a level above their rivals as they won promotion from the Championship last season. They beat Millwall 3-1 when these sides met at Turf Moor in May and a home win looks the best bet at the current prices.

Burnley’s defence in the second tier was incredible last season and they’ve kept clean sheets in their home games against the other promoted teams this term, beating both Sunderland and Leeds 2-0.

Millwall have failed to score in their last two trips so a Burnley win to nil could be a shrewd bet as a bigger price option, and a 2-0 Clarets win is the correct score bet as they have scored exactly twice in all of their home wins this season and in two of their last four games at Turf Moor.
