Millwall vs Leicester Betting Tips &— Leicester to Win

While Leicester are expected to reach the fourth round as they arrive in London as significant favourites, Millwall will probably put up a substantial challenge as the hosts have been performing well in the past month.

Currently ranked 15th in the Championship, the Lions have achieved victories in their last three games, each without conceding a single goal. Millwall, having not lost in their last five matches (with three wins and two draws), only managed to secure a win in one of their preceding 11 games. This suggests a recent improvement in their performance.

Despite remaining undefeated in their last four home games, Millwall has generally underperformed in the presence of their home crowd over the past year. Before their recent improvements, the Lions had suffered eight losses in their preceding 11 games at the Den.

The visitors are in strong form heading into this match. Leicester, currently leading the Championship by ten points, boasts a record of eight wins and two draws in their last ten matches across all competitions. In all eight victories, the Foxes managed to net at least two goals. When playing away, Enzo Maresca’s squad has claimed six victories in their most recent nine matches.

Despite Millwall´s improved performances of the past month, I still fancy the on-song Foxes to secure their place in the FA Cup fourth round. I´m backing Leicester to win while the visitors can also be expected to score at least twice.
