Millwall vs Watford Odds

The odds are updated on a frequent basis. You might therefore find that they are different to the ones listed for the above betting predictions.

Millwall Have the Shortest Odds to Win

For this Championship encounter, the bookmakers have Millwall as the -100 favourites to win. This therefore implies that they have a 50% chance of triumphing. The +280 means that Watford are seen as having the lowest probability of succeeding.

There are two Asian Handicap options and they are Millwall -0.5 at -100 or alternatively Watford +0.5. Either go for the favourites to win or opt for the latter and get the draw on your side at -123.

If you think there will be two goals or less during the ninety minutes, then Under 2.5 Goals is a potential option. For those wanting to back Both Teams to Score No, this is currently priced at -132.
