Millwall manager Joe Edwards has experienced a seven-game winless streak at the club since their four-goal victory over Sheffield Wednesday. Recent draws against Huddersfield Town and Stoke City have not lifted the team's morale. During their match against Stoke City, Millwall had to settle for a draw despite a late opportunity to secure a win. However, the team can take solace in their first clean sheet in six matches and the improving performances of goalkeeper Matija Sarkic. Currently sitting in 20th place, Millwall will face a direct opponent in their next fixture. Although Marti Cifuentes's team could potentially surpass them in the standings, it is unlikely due to their inferior goal difference. In the current season, Millwall's home stadium, The Den, has not been as successful for them as in previous years, with just two wins out of 11 matches. Their last victory at The Den was against Rotherham United on September 20.
Millwall Predicted Lineup
Sarkic; Leonard, Harding, Cooper; Norton-Cuffy, Saville, Flemming, Mitchell, Wallace; Bradshaw, Watmore
Queens Park Rangers form
Queens Park Rangers have had a mixed run of form recently, only managing to earn one point from their last three matches after collecting nine points from matches against Stoke, Preston North End, and Hull City. Despite their position in the league, they have talented players like Ilias Chair who can pose a threat to top teams in the division. However, in their recent game against Southampton, the visitors came out on top with a goal from Taylor Harwood-Bellis. The poor form of Millwall and Huddersfield Town gives QPR some hope of avoiding relegation, as they are only two points behind the Terriers at the halfway point of the season. Manager Cifuentes will be looking for an improved performance from his team, following their loss to Sheffield Wednesday where they conceded a late equalizer and a last-minute winner. QPR currently have three players who have scored three goals each, with Chris Willock being particularly impressive since Cifuentes took charge.
Queens Park Rangers Predicted Lineup
Begovic; Adomah, Dunne, Clarke-Salter, Paal; Dozzell, Field, Dixon-Bonner; Smyth, Chair, Dykes
Millwall vs Queens Park Rangers Expert Tips
In their previous match, Millwall managed to maintain a clean sheet after a series of six matches without one. However, despite Stoke's recent struggles, Millwall struggled to consistently pose a threat. On the other hand, QPR showcased impressiveness at certain moments of their match against Southampton, even though they ultimately lost. Therefore, we predict that QPR will deliver a determined away performance and secure all three points at The Den on Boxing Day.
