Millwall vs Huddersfield Town Prediction: Both sitting just above relegation zone

Millwall will welcome Huddersfield Town at The Den in Game Week 22 of the English Championship. Both teams are sitting just above relegation zone. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

Millwall form

Joe Edwards has not had an easy time since his first game as Millwall boss, a 4-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday. The team has only managed to earn one point in their last five games, with 10 goals being scored against them in the four losses. It is important to note, however, that Millwall has faced tough opponents like Ipswich Town, Cardiff City, and Leicester City in away matches. Despite their defeats, there were positive aspects to their performance, such as going in front against the league leaders on Wednesday night. Nevertheless, Millwall is now 12 points away from the playoffs and is fighting to avoid relegation, as they are just one point ahead of 22nd-placed Queens Park Rangers. Edwards is likely to make changes to his Millwall team following their loss to Leicester. Zian Flemming and Kevin Nisbet are both in contention to start. Billy Mitchell could return in midfield, and Bartosz Bialkowski may regain his place in goal after Matija Sarkic's lacklustre performance against Leicester. 

Millwall Predicted Lineup

The possible starting lineup for Millwall is Bialkowski in goal, with Leonard, Cooper, and Harding in defence. Norton-Cuffy, Mitchell, Saville, and Wallace in midfield. Flemming, Bradshaw, and Nisbet in the forward positions. 

Huddersfield Town form

Huddersfield seems to have more stability, but Darren Moore needs to get more from his team to secure his position. While they have made progress with one win and four draws in seven games, their 3-1 loss against Preston North End raises concerns. Both Moore and Edwards will be looking to strengthen their squads during the January transfer window. The match this weekend will be crucial for both teams, as it can greatly impact their season. Huddersfield has shown improvement in their away performances under Moore, conceding only three goals in their last three matches.

Despite Huddersfield suffering from several injuries, Moore is expected to make changes to the team that underperformed against Preston. Yuta Nakayama and Jaheim Headley may be involved on the left side, replacing Josh Koroma and Josh Austerfield. Ben Wiles could also be considered for a start on the right side.

Huddersfield Town Predicted Lineup

The possible starting lineup for Huddersfield Town is Maxwell in goal, with Pearson, Helik, and Lees in defence. Thomas, Kasumu, Hogg, and Nakayama are in midfield. Burgzorg, Ward, and Headley in the forward positions.

Millwall vs Huddersfield Town Expert Tips

Both teams are expected to be nervous as they have not performed as well as expected this season. While Millwall may be improving under Edwards, we predict that Huddersfield will fight for a draw in this match. Bet on the double chance for the away side.
