Millwall vs Leicester City: Predictions, Betting odds, Lineups, Preview

Millwall's recent form has been largely positive, with three wins in their last five games. Their home performances have been particularly strong, defeating Stoke City and West Bromwich Albion convincingly.

However, the heavy loss to Coventry City at home is a concern, suggesting they can be susceptible to strong opposition. This mixed form could mean they approach the game against Leicester City with confidence but also a need to be cautious.

• Win: 2-0 vs Stoke City (H)
• Win: 2-1 vs Queens Park Rangers (A)
• Win: 3-0 vs West Bromwich Albion (H)
• Loss: 0-4 vs Coventry City (H)
• Draw: 1-1 vs Swansea City (A)

Leicester City have struggled for consistency in their recent outings, securing just one win in their last five games. Their draws against Portsmouth, Wrexham, and West Bromwich Albion indicate a team that can compete but often fails to secure victories.

The loss to Hull City away from home highlights their vulnerability on the road. This inconsistent form might make it challenging for them to overcome a Millwall side buoyed by recent home successes.

• Loss: 1-2 vs Hull City (A)
• Draw: 1-1 vs Portsmouth (H)
• Win: 3-1 vs Swansea City (A)
• Draw: 1-1 vs Wrexham (H)
• Draw: 1-1 vs West Bromwich Albion (A)
