Millwall vs Luton Predictions

Tip Reasoning

• Luton have kept clean sheets in five of their last seven games
• Millwall concede just 0.89 goals per game at home this season
• Luton concede just 0.84 goals per game away from home this season

Playoff race hotting up

With only seven games left to go in this Championship season, both Millwall and Luton will be confident of making the playoff spots. The sides sit fifth and fourth in the table respectively, with Luton on 67 points, level with third-placed Middlesbrough, and Millwall on 61, four points clear of seventh.

Luton are the better form side going into the game, with Millwall having won just two of their last five, and failing to score in either of their last two games. Friday’s fixture sees two sides with fantastic defensive records go head to head. Luton concede and average of just 0.84 goals per game when playing away from home, while Millwall average just 0.89 goals conceded when playing at The Den. As a result of these two defensively solid teams, a best bet prediction of under 2.5 goals looks the best option here.

Could Millwall start to slip?

Having won just twice in their last five games, Millwall will need to be cautious of a late capitulation, with both Norwich and Coventry just four points behind and waiting to pounce on any slip ups that may come. A loss to relegation-threatened Huddersfield and a goalless draw against playoff-chasing West Brom in their last two games saw Millwall struggle to threaten, and with a visit from a Luton side who’ve won 53% of their away games this season, things could get harder for The Lions.

As a result of this, a correct score prediction of a 1-0 win for the visitors appeals here, due to the defensive ability of both sides as well as the recent runs of form – with Luton unbeaten in their last seven games. A goalless draw could be equally on the cards, but these two teams will be looking for the win.
