It has not been often in recent times that Millwall haven’t conceded. In fact, Millwall have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 11 goals during that time. We shall soon see if that trend will be sustained here.

- haven't been beaten in the league by Watford in their previous 3 matches.
- are without a win at home for the past 4 matches in the league. Their supporters are understandably frustrated.

📰 Team News: Millwall
The Millwall manager Neil Harris has no fitness concerns to speak of before this game thanks to a fully injury-free squad available to choose from.
It looks as if The Lions may well kick off with a 4-4-2 system for the game, beginning the first half with Matija Sarkic, Ryan Leonard, Japhet Tanganga, Jake Cooper, Danny McNamara, George Honeyman, Billy Mitchell, George Saville, Ryan Longman, Tom Bradshaw and Zian Flemming.
📋 Team News: Watford
From a largely healthy group of players, there is only the lone fitness worry for the Watford boss Valérien Ismaël to be concerned with. Kwadwo Baah (Hamstring injury) misses out for this game.
We believe The Hornets will likely utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting Ben Hamer, Tom Dele-Bashiru, Mattie Pollock, Wesley Hoedt, Jamal Lewis, Jake Livermore, Yaser Asprilla, Giorgi Chakvetadze, Tom Ince, Ken Sema and Emmanuel Dennis.
💭 Prediction
We’re of the view that Watford are capable enough to score a goal against this Millwall team, but it possibly won’t be as many as they will have scored against them.
We think that it’s going to be a close game with a 2-1 winning margin for Millwall when the full-time whistle blows. We are expecting it to be pretty even.
