Millwall vs Burnley Predictions

Tip Reasoning

• Millwall have only lost 13% of their home games this season
• Millwall average just 0.73 goals conceded per game at home
• Burnley have only failed to win twice in 17 league games

Danger at The Den

Millwall have been excellent this season, and have mounted a surprise push for the playoffs. Their home form has been a real decisive factor in their playoff surge, and even a visit from the league leaders is unlikely to phase them. With an average of 2.07 points per game, having conceded just 0.73 goals per game when playing at home, the Lions are sure to make it a tough visit for Burnley.

The league leaders, meanwhile, have only failed to win in two of their last 17 league games. They’ll carry this form and confidence into each game, and take belief from having only failed to score once all season. Due to the hosts’ fantastic defensive form when they play at home, this could be a difficult tie for the Clarets, so a prediction of under 2.5 goals appeals.

Unstoppable title charge

Even when Burnley aren’t at their best, they always manage to get a result. Their last two results have seen the clarets score a late corner against Watford to salvage a point, and a penalty to secure a 1-0 win over Luton Town. The air of inevitability around this Burnley side is enough to get them through games alone, and they never lack belief.

These last two results, however, have seen Burnley scrape results against resilient defensive sides, and their visit to Millwall will see them come up against yet another of the Championship’s best defensive sides. The visitors will probably have enough about them to win again, but it won’t be easy, with another prediction of 1-0 Burnley looking tempting.
