Millwall vs Nottingham Forest Betting Tips – EFL Championship, 6th December 19.45pm

This weekend’s action in the EFL Championship gets underway on Friday night, as Gary Rowett’s Millwall welcome Sabri Lamouchi’s Nottingham Forest to The Den for a tasty fixture. The Lions have been in good form under new boss Rowett, and the hosts head into this one as the 11/8 favourites. However, after losing at home to Cardiff City last time out, Forest will be keen to get back to winning ways on Friday. Both sides are capable of winning this, but which way will it go in the English capital?

Millwall News and Form – Can the Lions continue fine home form?

Since arriving in south London, Gary Rowett has guided Millwall to three wins from six Championship games. The Lions have beaten Stoke City, Charlton Athletic and Swansea City during his tenure, drawing with Wigan Athletic and Birmingham City along the way. Only Reading have managed to beat Rowett’s Millwall.

Last Saturday, the Londoners battled to a 1-1 draw with Birmingham at St Andrew’s, with Shaun Williams getting their goal. The Lions have taken four points from their last two on the road, while they are unbeaten in their past five at home (three wins, two draws). Only Preston North End, Fulham, Leeds United, Cardiff, West Bromwich Albion and Derby County have picked up more home points so far.

 

 

Rowett is enjoying life at The Den, and his Millwall side are certainly capable of beating Nottingham Forest on Friday. The home team are priced at 7/5 to win this one.

Nottingham Forest News and Form – Can the Reds strike back with an away win?

Sabri Lamouchi’s Nottingham Forest fell to a shock defeat to Neil Harris’ Cardiff at the City Ground last weekend. Prior to that, the Reds had taken ten points from a possible 12 after back-to-back defeats to Wigan Athletic and Hull City.

Nevertheless, Nottingham Forest have been very solid under Lamouchi so far. Forest have been one of the surprise packages, and they head to London in fourth spot in the table. Considering that they have played a game less than every team in the top half, that’s very good going by the Reds.

Reaching the play-offs will be Forest’s ultimate goal this season. At the time of writing, the Reds are two points above seventh place and eight points adrift of the automatic spots. A win at The Den on Friday would put them right back on track.

Millwall vs Nottingham Forest Predictions

Draw: Millwall have been in excellent form of late, with Rowett really starting to stamp his authority on the team. However, since beating Charlton and Swansea in successive matches, the Lions have drawn their last two, so Rowett will be looking for all three points on Friday night.

Nottingham Forest racked up over 30 shots on Cardiff’s goal last weekend, but only two of those were on target as they succumbed to a 1-0 home defeat. Like Millwall, the Reds will be targeting maximum points from Friday’s fixture. However, this could go either way in the capital, so my money is going on the draw at 23/10. As for the correct score, bet365’s price of 15/2 for the 0-0 stalemate is standing out.
