Burnley gunning for three straight wins
Millwall have been going through a rough patch these past few weeks; they've won just one of their last six games, with a draw and four losses. In fact, the Lions are coming off back-to-back losses, failing to score in both games. By comparison, Burnley have fared much better than their opponents; they are coming off back-to-back wins, including an impressive 5:1 triumph at Wigan Athletic. It's worth noting that Burnley have lost just one of nine games under Vincent Kompany; they also have no losses in their last five meetings with Millwall. On that note, we are predicting a win for Vincent Kompany's men.
Predicting a low scoring match
Millwall have mostly struggled in front of goal this season; they failed to score in their last two, and four of their last six games. Because of their low-scoring nature, Millwall's games usually don't feature plenty of goals; as 10 of their last 12 matches went below the 2.5 goal mark. Like Millwall, Burnley have had their fair share of low-scoring games; as five of their last seven games saw less than three goals scored. With that in mind, we don't think that these teams will score up to three goals between them.

Have Burnley finally found their winning form?
Millwall aren't exactly a force to be reckoned with away from the Den whilst Burnley arrive into this match off the back of their best showing of the season. If you read into those two things then this has the potential to be a stroll in the park for the hosts.
Burnley have a fair few absentees heading into this match; Ian Maatsen is serving the last of this three-game suspension, while Kevin Long, Scott Twine and Ashley Westwood are in the recovery room. Vincent Kompany will not be too concerned however, as his side put up five goals against Wigan without these players.
Burnley Predicted lineup – Muric, Roberts, Harwood-Bellis, Taylor, Benson, Brownhill, Cork, Cullen, Vitinho, Rodriguez, Tella
Gary Rowett will be thankful to have no major fitness concerns going into this match; with the exception of Mason Bennett, who is recovering from a hamstring injury, the Lions have a fully healthy squad. However, Rowett will need his forwards to up their game; Millwall have a total of seven goals this season, and only one of those goals came from their strikers.
Millwall Predicted lineup – Bialkowski, Leonard, Hutchinson, Wallace, McNamara, Mitchell, Saville, Malone, Honeyman, Burey, Afobe
