Next is an all-Championship clash between Millwall and Hull City as the betting tips continue at the New Den with both teams looking to brighten up their season with a decent cup run.
Millwall Prediction
Millwall have done their chances of Championship survival no harm at all by winning their last three league matches on the trot as The Lions have racked up wins against Reading, Nottingham Forest and Ipswich Town – the latter being a 3-2 win at Portman Road in what was a relegation ‘six-pointer’.
This three-match winning streak will have been a welcome boost for Neil Harris’s side as they’d previously gone eight league matches without a win in the Championship which had placed the London club amongst the relegation zone.
The hosts still remain a tough unit to beat at the New Den though as recent results testify; just one defeat from their last eight matches on home turf proves this point and with midfielder Williams (4 goals) and forwards Gregory (7 goals) and Elliott (3 goals) scoring vital goals, the hosts will fancy their chances of making it to the 4th round of the cup.
Hull City Prediction
Hull City are also enjoying their best spell of this season under manager Nigel Adkins as The Tigers have picked up five wins on the trot amidst an overall eight-match unbeaten run in the Championship which has lifted them well away from the relegation zone and now just seven points adrift of the play-off pack.
The visitors have registered recent wins against Brentford, Swansea City, Preston North End, Leeds United and Bolton Wanderers during this purple patch of form, while on the road, Hull are unbeaten in their last six on their travels.
Within this six-match sequence away from home, Hull have scored in each of these six matches with a total of 13 goals for, but have also conceded 8 goals in the process.
The forward trio of Bowen (11 goals), Campbell (8 goals) and Grosicki (4 goals) should create plenty of goalscoring opportunities at Millwall.
Betting Tips Verdict
The previous meeting between these two sides ended in an entertaining 2-2 draw at the Den and we should see both teams scoring again in this FA Cup tie.
