Burnley vs Millwall prediction, preview, team news and more | EFL Championship 2022-23

Round seven of the EFL Championship gets underway on Tuesday as Burnley and Millwall square off at Turf Moor.

The Lions will head into the midweek clash seeking to get one over the hosts, having failed to win their last five encounters since February 2012.

Burnley returned to winning ways in the Championship as they steamrolled Wigan Athletic 5-1 on home turf last Saturday.

They were previously on a four-game winless run in the league, picking up three draws and losing once since their 1-0 win over Huddersfield Town in July’s league opener.

Burnley, who claimed a 1-0 win over Shrewsbury Town in the EFL Cup second round, are currently seventh in the Championship table after picking up nine points from six games.

Meanwhile, Millwall were left empty-handed for the second consecutive game as they lost 1-0 to Reading last weekend.

This followed a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Norwich City on August 19 which saw their two-game unbeaten run come to an end.

The Lions head into the midweek clash winless in their last 10 competitive away games, claiming five draws and losing five since March’s 1-0 victory at Reading.
