H2H: Millwall vs Luton – Prediction (Championship

Preview and Teams Comparison.

Millwall’s Jed Wallace has scored three league goals this term. Two of those arrived in the 15 minutes following HT. Luton’s Elliott Lee has scored after the 70th minute in the last two Championship matches he’s found the net. Luton have witnessed under 2.5 goals in 13 of their last 16 league games.

Millwall Insights.

The last H2H back in January was the first time in 27 league meetings that this fixture saw one team net over 2.5 goals, so it’s little surprise that 20 of those H2Hs featured under 2.5 goals. Millwall have produced low-scoring games this season too, with an average of just 1.8 goals per Championship fixture so far. The hosts will look to shake off their winless streak at home this Championship campaign (D2) as they attempt to avoid registering three draws in their opening three home league fixtures of a new season for the first time since 1935/36. Though if history prevails, the ‘Lions’ will at least see their unbeaten H2H home streak extended to six games (W4, D1).

Luton Insights.

Luton Town conceded twice between HT and the 60th minute last time out as they lost to Stoke, and subsequently they’ve now witnessed at least one match goal during that time period in three of their last four league games. However Luton start as outsiders here and are winless in 72.97% of the league games they’ve started as an underdog since the beginning of last season (W10, D6, L21). The visitors have conceded just two goals across seven competitive away games under boss Nathan Jones (0.29 conceded on average per game), compared to 48 in 21 games under his predecessor Graeme Jones (2.29 on average per game). However, the ‘Hatters’ have lost each of their last six away league games versus London-based sides – conceding at least three goals in each defeat.
