Leeds United v Millwall: Free Tips, Prediction and Odds

Leeds United's title charge in the Championship was checked by a 1-0 defeat at Portsmouth on Sunday, but they can reassert themselves as promotion favourites with victory at home over Millwall in midweek.

The Lions, meanwhile, have already beaten the Whites twice this season, but this time are expected to be put to the sword by the team regarded by many as the best in the division.

Leeds to win and both teams to score - 3/1

Leeds' Championship title ambitions took an unexpected hit when they went down to a narrow defeat at Pompey on Sunday, but the Whites can bounce back accordingly at home to Millwall on Wednesday.

Leeds could find themselves down in third place before they get under way against the Lions with the teams in second and third, Sunderland and Burnley, both in action on Tuesday.

However, Daniel Farke's side are too strong to not emerge back at the front of the pack after the midweek games in the second tier.

Leeds were held to a 1-1 draw at home in their most recent Championship fixture when West Brom earned a deserved point, but Farke's side still have the best home record in the league, securing 45 points from their 18 games.

They will be wary of the Lions, though. Millwall have shown some good signs since Alex Neil took charge at the end of last year and approach the daunting trip to Elland Road having won their last two away matches against Derby and Watford.

They have also had the measure of Leeds twice this season already, winning the home league game 1-0 in November and they then stunned the West Yorkshire outfit in the fifth round of the FA Cup with a fine 2-0 away success.

The Lions usually score, they have only failed to find the back of the net once in their last 12 games all told, so they can again register on Wednesday but Leeds' superiority should come to the fore overall.

Daniel James to score anytime - 2/1

Daniel James has been a key man for Leeds this season as the Wales international has chipped in with 10 goals and nine assists in the Championship.

James has not found the back of the net since hitting a brace in the 4-0 win at Watford last month, but he has still been heavily involved going forward for Farke's side.

He has picked up three assists in his last three outings and his shooting stats suggest another goal should be just around the corner.

James had three shots in Sunday's defeat at Pompey, following on from the five he had in the previous game against the Baggies, while he registered three shots at Sheffield United the week before.

You have to go back to the end of November against Blackburn to find a game James did last not manage a shot in, so he continues to be an ongoing goal threat in the final third for the Whites.

George Honeymen to be booked - 3/1

With Leeds expected to largely dominate at home, Millwall's attack-minded players will have to do their fare share of tracking back to try and prevent the hosts from running away with the game.

George Honeyman could be a candidate for a booking for the visitors as the attacking midfielder has picked up seven yellow cards in the Championship this season.

The 30-year-old has been guilty of giving away 39 fouls in total so far this season and only two Lions players have been penalised more, so at 3/1, the former Sunderland and Hull man appeals in the card market.
