Millwall vs Portsmouth Prediction and Betting Tips | April 5th 2025

Millwall lock horns with Portsmouth in the 40th round of games in the EFL Championship on Saturday. Both sides are in the bottom half of the standings.

Alex Neil's Millwall are fresh off a 1-0 defeat at Sunderland last weekend. Despite dominating possession, the Lions had only two shots on target, four less than the hosts, who bagged a 27th-minute winner through Trai Hume.

With their third loss in five games - including two in their last three - Neil's side are 13th in the points table, with 51 points from 39 games, winning 13.

Meanwhile, John Mousinho's Portsmouth are coming off a slender 1-0 home win over Blackburn Rovers last weekend. Josh Murphy's 20th-minute winner turned out to be the only goal of the game. Following their third defeat in four games, Pompey remain 17th in the standings, with 45 points from 39 games, winning 12.

On that note, here's a look at the head-to-head stats and key numbers, match prediction, and betting tips for the Millwall-Portsmouth Championship clash at The Den.

Millwall vs Portsmouth prediction

Both sides have had underwhelming campaigns, which is evident in their respective positions in the points table and recent form, winning two of their last five league games, losing thrice.

There's nothing to separate them in terms of head-to-head, but the Lions have won their last three league meetings with Pompey and are looking to win four in a row for the first time.

In their first Championship visit to The Den in 14 years, Portsmouth will hope to avenge a 1-0 loss suffered in their last trip on Boxing Day in 2011.

It's a difficult matchup to call due to the inconsistent form of both sides, but expect the slightly more in-form Millwall to eke out another narrow win.

Prediction: Millwall 1-0 Portsmouth
