Millwall vs Hull City Prediction: A low number of goals expected

After an impressive performance against Leeds United in their last outing, Millwall hope to continue the great run when they welcome Hull City to The Den on Saturday. However, Hull City are unbeaten in their previous five games against The Lions. Who will win? Below, I have the team news, possible starting 11, some interesting facts, expert betting tips, and odds.

Millwall

WLDLD

Millwall recorded a 3-0 win over Dad & Red in the FA Cup but now return to league action, where they last played a 2-2 draw against Sheffield United. George Honeyman’s 65th-minute goal brought them back to the game after they had gone behind just 6 minutes into the game. Ryan Wintle gave them the lead in the 83rd, but it only lasted two minutes. The Lions have now recorded one win in their last 11 games in the Championship and have lost three of their previous four games at The Den. 

Millwall sit 14 on the table with 30 points in 25 games, scoring 24 goals and conceding 23. They have scored the joint least goals in the league this season, but their defence is one of the best. However, the team will be without Josh Coburn, Calum Scanlon, and Aidomo Emakhu, who are out due to injuries. Team striker Tom Bradshaw has completed a move to Oxford United, and he will be a major loss for this team.

Hull City

WLWLD

Hull City bowed out of the FA Cup, losing on penalties to Doncaster after the regular time had ended in a 1-1 draw. They now return to league action, where they got a 3-3 draw against Leeds United in their last game. They have secured one win in their previous four games and have managed just two wins in their last 18 games in all competitions. They have lost 5 of their last six games on the road and now sit 22nd on the table with 23 points in 26 games, scoring 25 goals and conceding 36. In the injury room, Steven Alzate, Fin Burns, Gonzalo Puerta, Ryan Longman, Abdus Omur, and Matty Jacob are doubtful for this game. At the same time, Mohamed Belloumi, Liam Millar, Charlie Hughes and Kasey Palmer are all confirmed out due to injuries.

Possible Starting 11

Millwall — Lukas Jensen, Ryan Leonard, Japhet Tanganga, Murray Wallace, Joe Bryan, George Saville, Casper De Norre, Femi Azeez, George Honeyman, Adam Mayor, Mihailo Ivanovic.

Hull City — Ivor Pandur, Lewie Coyle, Alfie Jones, Sean McLoughlin, Ryan Giles, Regan Slater, Xavier Simons, Abu Kamara, Matt Crooks, Mason Burstow, João Pedro Galvão.

Expert Betting Tips

Millwall did a good job in their last game against Leed United, but they couldn’t hold on to the end. However, they secured a draw that is much more than motivation going forward. Although The Lions are the joint worst offensive side in the league, their defence has been living up to expectations, so I don’t expect them to lose this game. Millwall have not won against Hull City in their last five attempts, and a draw seems to be on the cards in this game. Moreover, due to the weak offensive sides of both teams, I am sure there won’t be many goals scored.

Our prediction for the match is Under 2.5 goals for odds of 1.60 at 1xbet.

Our second prediction is to see at least a team fire blank (BTTS-NO) for odds of 1.67 at Betway.

Our third prediction is a draw, with odds of 2.05 at Bet365.
