Millwall vs Crystal Palace Predictions

• Palace have lost their last three away games to nil
• The Eagles have lost their last three FA Cup games
• Millwall have lost only twice in 11 home games this term

Weakened Eagles are vulnerable

Crystal Palace are among the English sides hit hardest by this year’s Africa Cup of Nations, with four stars away on international duty. Those include forwards Wilfried Zaha and Jordan Ayew, leaving Patrick Viera short on options.

Palace would likely have rotated anyway this weekend, but they will be short on options off the bench. While the Eagles are facing a Championship side, their away record will worry Viera too.

Palace have lost their last three away trips to nil, while they’ve exited the FA Cup at the first hurdle in each of the last two seasons. That’s not an ideal record for a visit to The Den.

Home form to see Millwall through

Millwall have been in mixed form lately, but at home they are unbeaten in five. The hosts have lost only twice in 11 home Championship games this term, so back them to make life difficult for Palace. With the visitors weakened and likely to rotate most of their side, back the Lions on the draw no bet market.

Neither of these sides are that high scoring, so back Palace’s goalless streak to continue. A 1-0 victory for Millwall is my correct score prediction.
