This is going to be a tough tie for Millwall, who just about managed to overcome their poor form during the end of season run-in to cling on to the final play off spot. But they were hammered by Scunthorpe in the regular season on the road and they are going to have to make the most of this home advantage in the first leg. The Irons though strung together a fantastic five-match winning streak to end the season and will be looking to stretch that momentum.

Millwall v Scunthorpe Betting Tips
It sure was a nervy finish to the season by Millwall who just about held on to that final play off spot. They managed that by landing a 4-3 win at Bristol Rovers on the last day of the regular season, which was important, because if they hadn’t pulled that off, then Southend, who won their final game, would have beaten them to sixth. Millwall have had a good season at home with a W13 D6 L4 record on the board. But they only managed a patchy W2 D1 L2 record in their last five games of the season home and away. As a positive, they booked a 3-1 home win over Scunthorpe earlier in the season and over 2.5 goals at Bet365 in this one is a price of even money. Eight of the last ten between these two have gone over the goal line. But despite that, both teams have failed to score in four of the last six between them. Both teams not to score at bet365 is a quote of 19/20. Millwall have a W2 D1 L1 record from their last four home games, and they have Lee Gregory, who netted a brace against Bristol Rovers on the weekend, as 6/5 anytime goalscorer favourite.
The Iron will turn up and compete well in this game. They are running along on a great five-match winning streak at the moment and they have gone W6 L1 in their last seven played. During that sequence, the only defeat there was that 3-1 loss out at Millwall at the Den, but the sequence of games also saw them beat play-off semi-finalists Bradford too. They have put together a two-match winning streak out on the road, which is timely because it snapped a six-match winless streak (D2 L4) away from home that they were on. The Iron have come good at the right time down the final stretch and they have gone W2 L2 in their last four visits to the Den, so this is up in the air completely. Scunthorpe’s record against the better teams in the division across the course of the regular season wasn’t great, but they will give the Lions, who haven’t been great lately a game. The Iron have Josh Morris at 5/2 and Paddy Madden at 21/10 as options in the bet365 anytime goalscorer market.
