📋 Team News: Millwall

Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just one fitness concern for the Millwall boss Alex Neil to contend with from of an almost fully healthy group of players. Danny McNamara (Knee surgery) won’t play.

📋 Team News: Portsmouth

In an otherwise available group, there is only the lone fitness issue for the Portsmouth manager John Mousinho to be concerned with. Ibane Bowat (Patellar tendon rupture) misses out for this game.

💡 Prediction

Our thinking is that Portsmouth are certainly able to put one past this Millwall outfit, but it probably won’t quite be as many as they’ll concede.

Our selection here is for a 2-1 winning score for Millwall at full-time. It’s a very tough call.
