Millwall vs Leeds United Prediction
The Lions head into the match in great form, recording three consecutive wins and keeping four clean sheets in their last five league outings. They failed to score in their two league meetings against the visitors last season and will look to improve upon that record.
Adam Mayor and Tom Bradshaw have returned to training after long-term injuries and are in doubt. Billy Mitchell is yet to feature this season and faces a late fitness test. Joe Bryan is a key absentee and will serve a suspension due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
The Whites have been in good touch recently and are unbeaten in their last eight league outings. They have scored at least two goals in six games in that period and will look to continue their goalscoring run here. They have enjoyed an unbeaten record in their travels this season, drawing four of their six away games.
Ethan Ampadu, Ilia Gruev, and Largie Ramazani are confirmed absentees for Daniel Farke. He is expected to make a few changes to the starting XI to navigate through a busy schedule of fixtures.
Leeds have won four of their last five meetings against Millwall and have an unbeaten away record this term. With that in mind and considering their better goalscoring form, the visitors are expected to eke out a narrow win.
