Millwall vs Sunderland Predictions

• Millwall have the third-best home record in the Championship this season
• Millwall have kept four clean sheets in their last five league matches
• Sunderland will be without top-scorer, Ross Stewart, who picked up an injury last week against Fulham

Lions hard to oppose on home soil

Millwall are hard to beat at home and have been for the last two seasons. Millwall finished last season with the third-best home record in the Championship, and they currently boast the third-best home record this season, only bettered by the top two in the division, Burnley and Sheffield United.

Millwall have kept four clean sheets in their last five league matches and should be hard to beat on Saturday, when they take on a Sunderland side who have several notable absentees for their trip to the capital.

Sunderland may struggle without talisman Stewart

Sunderland will have to do without their leading scorer for the remainder of the season, after Ross Stewart picked up an Achilles injury in last weeks FA Cup stalemate at Craven Cottage. Ellis Simms was recalled by Everton at the start of January, which now leaves Sunderland without a genuine number 9.

Without a focal point in attack, Sunderland may struggle to breakdown Saturday’s hosts, who have kept four clean sheets in their last five league matches and are tough to beat in front of their own fans.

Millwall to win in the outright market will form the main selection for Saturday’s game, with a 2-0 home victory forming the correct score prediction.
