Millwall vs Birmingham City: Top Tips
Millwall – 57/50
Draw – 9/4
Blues – 49/20
Birmingham will look to bounce back at the first time of asking after last weekend’s Second City derby defeat to Aston Villa.
The Blues took an early lead and almost went two-nil up but the turning point in the contest.
However, 49/20 for Garry Monk’s men to claim three points away at Millwall on Wednesday night represents solid value for punters.
Birmingham are in the top half of the table whilst Millwall are languishing just outside the relegation zone.
The Blues have a seven-point advantage over their opponents going into Wednesday’s game and victory will cement Birmingham’s top half status.
Only two Championship clubs have conceded more league goals than Millwall in 2018/19.
With that in mind, opting for Birmingham to score could be the way to go.
11/5 for Blues to notch over 1.5 goals at The Den may turn out to be a huge price if the likes of Che Adams and Lukas Jutkiewicz continue their fine form.
The Blues duo have combined for 16 goals in Birmingham’s last 10 league games and both men will be looking to score on Wednesday night.
Adams and Jutkiewicz are priced at 27/10 to get their names on the scoresheet against Millwall.
Birmingham have struggled in this fixture in recent times, failing to score in their last three matches against the Lions.
However, that should change this time around and the 7/10 for the Blues to avoid defeat in 888sport’s double chance market is worth considering.
Winning at The Den will not be easy but Birmingham have the quality upfront to put Millwall to the sword.
Take the 49/20 for Monk’s men to get back to winning ways after that derby disappointment.
Prediction: Millwall 1-2 Birmingham (12/1
Bet of the day: Birmingham to win OR draw (7/10)
