Championship Betting Preview: Watford vs Millwall

Watford welcome Millwall to Vicarage Road, with kick-off set for 07:30 on Saturday 17 January.

It’s great to get attractive odds of -109 for a home win when Watford go up against Millwall. We think that the hosts will have the upper hand and the Full-Time Result market is a way of getting the best value.

Watford won their last Championship game 3-0, making it four league wins on the spin. This was a home victory at Vicarage Road against Birmingham City. The Hornets had six shots on target and 45% possession, with Thomas Ince bagging a hat-trick.

Their most recent encounter saw Watford beaten 5-1 away to Bristol City in the FA Cup.

Millwall claimed a 2-1 home win over Swansea City at The Den in their previous Championship game. The South London side enjoyed 47% possession and had nine shots on goal, while Mihailo Ivanovic and Caleb Taylor found the net.

The last outing involving Millwall saw them defeated 5-1 when visiting Burnley in the FA Cup.

Millwall have claimed victories in the last two clashes against Watford. A 1-0 win when hosting at The Den came after a 2-1 away victory at Vicarage Road. It’s been five Millwall wins, two draws and two Watford victories in the past 9 H2H matches.
