Brentford Preview – Bees to make it back-to-back wins?
Brentford, who currently sit fourth, still have eyes for second place. Norwich City are storming their way to the title, while Watford look a good bet to join them in next season’s Premier League as runners-up. However, the Bees will no doubt fight tooth and nail until the very last whistle.
After consecutive draws with Derby County, Nottingham Forest, Huddersfield Town and Birmingham City, Brentford got back to winning ways in emphatic style last weekend. Thomas Frank’s boys put five past sorry Preston North End without reply, with Brentford’s last three goals at Deepdale coming in the final 15 minutes.
After last Saturday’s big win on the road, the Bees will want to follow that up by claiming their first victory at home since February. As you would expect, the Premier League chasers are the clear favourites with the bookies.
Millwall Preview – Can the Lions avoid a second successive loss?
Millwall were making a late dash for the play-offs after three straight wins and four victories in five. However, their slim top-six dreams were dashed last weekend as the London club crashed to a heavy 3-0 home defeat to Swansea City.
Nevertheless, Millwall certainly grew into the season after a sluggish start. They have not lost many games, with only the current top five suffering fewer defeats up until now. However, the Lions are the draw specialists in the Championship, with a staggering 16 of their 41 games ended level.

Key Facts – Brentford vs Millwall Betting Tip
- Brentford have drawn their last two at home
- No side in the Championship have drawn more games than Millwall this term
- The Lions won three in a row before last weekend’s loss to Swansea
As Brentford hunt down Watford, Frank’s boys cannot afford to drop any points in their remaining games. As always, Millwall will provide stiff opposition, but we can see the Bees securing a narrow and much-needed home win on Saturday. Take a punt on the hosts to win by one goal, which is nicely priced at 12/5. Also, the 1-0 home victory at 9/2 has caught the eye.
Ivan Toney has been the leading marksman in the Championship pretty much all season long. Put some money on Brentford’s main man to get on the scoresheet yet again by opening the scoring in this one (12/5).
