Millwall v Swansea City Prediction
Best Bet: Millwall to win @ 11/8
Finishing in third place in the Championship standings before a heartbreaking semi-final defeat at the hands of Hull City last season, Millwall will hope this will be the campaign they finally secure promotion to the Premier League.
It has been a steady start from Alex Neil’s side, who are unbeaten in their last three games and go into this match on the back of a 1-0 win at Preston North End at the weekend.
Swansea come into this match on the back of a three-game winning streak, with wins over Burnley, Lincoln City and Norwich in that spell.
The Swans have been impressive but their record against Millwall suggests the Lions can be the ones smiling come the full-time whistle.
Millwall are unbeaten in their last five games against Swansea, while the Lions have also won three of their last four home matches against the Swans.
With that in mind, the hosts look like great value at 11/8 to claim all three points on home soil and narrow the gap to the frontrunners to just three points.
Alternative Bet: Lyndon Dykes anytime goalscorer @ 21/10
A forward currently in great form for the Lions, keep an eye on Lyndon Dykes in the anytime goalscorer market for Tuesday’s clash in the capital.
The Scotland international has enjoyed a strong start to the season and has managed to score four goals in his last four Championship appearances.
Against a Swansea defence that has conceded in all of their last four outings, Dykes to strike gets the nod here.
