Stoke vs Millwall Prediction 1: Millwall to win
We are kicking off our predictions for this game in the match result market but it would be an understatement to say these two sides are tough to separate based on recent form. Stoke have taken seven points from the last 15 available to them whilst Millwall have taken eight points across the same period. That gives Millwall a marginal edge on a pure points collected perspective. The Lions also come out favourably when you look at the strength of competition faced over that five game spell with Millwall taking four points from the Championship's top two in their last two games. On top of all that, Millwall also come out strongly on the head to head record having won three of the last four meetings between the pair. With all that chewed over, Millwall are our tip to win.
Stoke vs Millwall Prediction 2: Under 2.5 goals
Despite referencing the strong form of both Stoke and Millwall in recent weeks, we see this game being a low scoring one as we bet on under 2.5 total goals. Stoke have seen three of their last five games go south of the 2.5 goal mark with a total of just nine goals scored across that period; that's a game average of just 1.8 goals. Millwall have been slightly higher scoring than their hosts across the past five games but, again, only two of them have gone over the 2.5 goal mark. Three of the last five head to head meetings – including each of the last two – have gone under 2.5 goals.

So, that gives you some insight to how the different bookmakers see the action unfolding. How though do the Stoke vs Millwall odds translate into probabilities ahead of this game? Let's find out.
Stoke odds: 16/11 (2.45) – 41%
Draw odds: 15/7 (3.14) – 32%
Millwall odds: 2/1 (3.00) – 33%
Despite avoiding defeat against both Burnley and Sheffield United in the past week, Millwall still come into this game as underdogs. That being said, the bookies probability does only give Stoke an 8% better prospect of taking maximum points, which means this game is largely wide open. Another market that the bookies are struggling to call is the both teams to score market; they have very little between the ‘yes' and ‘no' betting options.
Check out the predicted lineups ahead of Stoke vs Millwall
Stoke
Stoke suffered a bitter loss to relegation threatened Blackpool last Saturday but showed great resilience to bounce back in the week with a win over Swansea. They will be keen to keep those positive steps going as they entertain Millwall this weekend and, as such, an unchanged lineup is highly likely.
Predicted lineup – Sarkic. Hoever, Fox, Wilmot, Sterling, Laurent, Pearson, Campbell, Smallbone, Brown, Gayle
Millwall
Millwall have put in two really good displays in the last week but those performances will have taken something out of the minds and legs of the players. With that considered, we can expect at least a change or two for this game. Shuan Hutchinson, Mason Bennett, Callum Styles and Tyler Burey are out injured.
Predicted lineup – Long, McNamara, Cresswell, Cooper, Wallace, Shackleton, Esse, Emakhu, Watmore, Flemming, Honeyman

Player to watch
Our player to keep an eye on in this game is Stoke midfielder Josh Laurent. The 27-year-old former Reading man, who generally operates deeper in the midfield, has only provided three goal contributions in the league this season but all have come within the last six games.
