Millwall and Brentford set to finish all square

Millwall and Brentford set to finish all square
1987

On Friday afternoon, Millwall host Brentford at the Den in a game that could prove vital to the home sides chances of survival in the Championship this season.

Millwall are currently 20th in the Championship table, two points clear of the relegation zone with the season drawing to a close. The Lions form of late has been inconsistent. However, the home side has suffered just one defeat in five league outings. Last time out, they picked up a highly creditable 1-1 draw at promotion-chasing Sheffield United.

The Lions recent Championship games have been tight, low-scoring affairs, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five outings in the second tier.

Millwall have found home wins hard to come by in the Championship of late, winning just one of their last seven matches on home soil in the second tier. Their recent home games in the Championship have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in seven of their last nine matches.

A poor recent run of form has scuppered Brentford’s hopes of making the Championship play-offs this season. The Bees have won just one of their last seven matches in the second tier. Their recent Championship matches have been relatively high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four league outings.

The visitors have a poor recent away record in the Championship, having won just one of their last seven matches, suffering five defeats in the process, including in their last two away games in the second tier.

The Bees recent away games in the Championship have been high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five outings. The visitors have struggled in defence on their travels, as they have conceded at least two goals in six of their last eight away games in the Championship.

Forebet predicts that this London derby will end in a low scoring draw, which does little for Millwall’s chances of securing survival.
