Betting Insights
- Birmingham City’s price of 2.8 looks a little short, but not out of the question given the visitors’ current form and the fact they had the edge in the last 4 meetings.
- Millwall are the slight favorites at 2.52, while the Draw comes in at 3.15.
- The under 2.5 goals market at 1.77 is the preferred way to go here, as this should be a cagey matchup with Millwall trying to restrict the visitors and pounce on the break.
Prediction
Expect a tight, cagey game at The Den with a lean towards under 2.5 goals and Birmingham to avoid defeat.
