Millwall v Swansea Betting Tips – Championship, 1st September 5.30pm

This will be a meeting between two sides who could really use the boost of three points. Swansea opened the season brightly but a lack of scoring threat has started to hurt them already and they have dropped off the pace. Millwall are still looking for that elusive second win of the season and have lost their last two. Read our predictions for Millwall v Swansea.

Millwall News and Form

The Lions are W1 D2 L2 for the season so far. They haven’t been able to string that winning consistency together yet. However, in their two games at The Den, they held the very strong Middlesbrough to a 2-2 and took a win over Derby who are tipped for promotion this season. So that’s a pretty good return. It means that there is a reasonable chance that they can avoid defeat in his game on the weekend.

The Lions have returned exactly two goals in both home games this season but we easily see this game going under 2.5 goals at 7/10 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from August 28th, 2018 at 2:01 a.m.). Last season they were very strong on home soil and they have suffered just the one defeat in their last seventeen league home games. Lee Gregory is their top scorer with two goals and is the favourite in the bet365 first goalscorer market.

Swansea News and Form

Swansea were very bright at the start of the season, posting back to back wins, but they have fallen off the pace since then. They lost against Bristol City last weekend for their first loss of the Championship season and now have failed to score in two of their last three played. Out on the road they have played two games and have taken four points from them. Will they have enough going forward to challenge a Millwall side who are very good at home?

In the correct score market the shortest priced option is the 1-1 draw at 4/1 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from August 28th, 2018 at 2:01 a.m.). Whichever way we look at this we can see a close, tight game being played out between two fairly evenly matched side. The Swans have a goalscoring asset in Ollie McBurnie who has netted three times this season and has taken plenty of backing to end the term as the Championship top goalscorer.

Millwall v Swansea Head to Head

Millwall and Swansea haven’t met since the 2010/11 Championship season. From that, Swansea picked up four points from the two meetings, which are incidentally the only two previous meetings in the Championship. So there’s not too much to go on by both teams have scored in four of the last five meetings.
