Watford vs Millwall prediction: Hosts to win low-scoring game
Key stats
- Our Watford vs Millwall betting tips take into account that the visitors have just a 24% win ratio on their travels this season in the league.
- None of Watford’s last four matches have seen both teams score.
- 82% of Millwall away games and 94% of Watford home games in the Championship have served up under 3.5 goals.
Correct score prediction: Watford 1-0 Millwall
These clubs have both been involved in some tight matches in recent weeks and with Watford’s last three games producing just three goals in total, we’re unlikely to see much action in this one.
Since losing heavily to leaders Leeds, the Hornets have responded well with three straight clean sheets, and they look the team much more likely to nick this.
