West Brom vs Millwall prediction, odds & betting tips 05/10/2024

West Brom will take on Millwall on Saturday, 5 October with the Baggies looking to bounce back after losing their last two league matches.

Prior to those defeats, West Brom were leading the way in the Championship so they will be keen to go into the international break back in the automatic promotion positions.

Millwall, meanwhile, endured another away defeat last week so will be desperate to prove that they can perform away from the Den.

As part of our latest round of Championship betting tips, here is our West Brom vs Millwall prediction.

Key Stats

• West Brom have lost just one of their four home matches this season.
• Millwall are yet to win a match away from home this season.
• None of West Brom's four home matches this season have produced more than two goals.
• None of Millwall's last three away matches have produced more than two goals.

Correct score prediction: West Brom 1-0 Millwall

Aside from Josh Maja, West Brom haven't been great from an attacking standpoint this season but they have built solid foundations at the back.

They have kept a clean sheet in three of their four home matches this season and have already won by this scoreline twice. Millwall, who lost 1-0 in their most recent away match, are unlikely to hand the Baggiest their third consecutive defeat.

West Brom preview: Are they good enough to go up?

Despite racing to a brilliant start this season, there are doubts about whether West Brom are good enough to go up this season. They came up short in the playoffs last season and sold their top scorer in the summer but sometimes strange things just happen in the Championship.

Predicted lineup: Palmer (GK), Furlong, Ajayi, Bartley, Heggem, Molumby, Mowatt, Fellows, Swift, Johnston, Maja

Millwall preview: Concerning away form

Millwall have been stuck in the Championship for several years now and they still look like a team more likely to go down to League One than challenge for promotion. Their away form is their biggest issue so far this season so a trip to the Hawthorns is the last thing they need.

Predicted lineup: Jensen (GK), McNamara, Tanganga, Cooper, Bryan, Saville, De Norre, Azeez, Leonard, Watmore, Langstaff

Player to watch: Josh Maja

Despite being a free transfer, Josh Maja had a fair bit of pressure on his shoulders this summer as he was selected to be the man to replace last season's top goalscorer Brandon Thomas-Asante. Fortunately, one thing Maja isn't lacking is confidence and he has taken to the task like a duck to water with seven goals in his first eight appearances.
