Millwall v Leicester

Millwall vs Leicester Preview

Millwall were handed a third defeat in four games in the Championship on Saturday when The Lions suffered a 1-0 defeat away from home at Huddersfield Town in a relegation battle down towards the bottom of the Championship table, while Leicester City grabbed a second win on the trot in the English second tier by recording a 2-1 home win against relegation haunted Birmingham City at the King Power Stadium.

Millwall's winless run in the Championship was extended to four games overall with that loss at Huddersfield Town and the London club had previously also slumped to losses against the likes of Leeds United and Rotherham United so the hosts face a tough task of turning their form around against visitors Leicester City despite holding home advantage.

Indeed, the bigger picture shows Millwall have managed to capture just three wins out of their last 15 league matches which came in the form of wins against Southampton, Watford and Birmingham City but The Lions have also slipped to nine defeats within these 15 games as well.

Results on home soil at The Den have also been pretty ordinary for Millwall as the hosts have registered just four wins from their previous 16 home games, losing seven games in the process.

Leicester City's automatic promotion hopes have been boosted by picking up recent back-to-back wins against Norwich City and Birmingham City in 3-1 and 2-1 victories respectively, both of which were gained on home soil at their King Power Stadium.

However, The Foxes have not had things all their own way in recent times as Enzo Maresca's side had collected just one win in their preceding six games overall in the Championship with a 1-0 win away from home at Sunderland but also slipping to four defeats within this period as well.

Losses at the hands of Middlesbrough, Leeds United, QPR and Bristol City respectively looked like they would deliver hammer blows to Leicester's automatic promotion hopes but the recent wins will have settled down the east midlands' club ahead of Tuesday night's trip to the nation's capital.

Results away from home though have also been inconsistent for Leicester City as The Foxes have won just four of their last 10 outings on the road while also being dealt three defeats as well.

Millwall v Leicester City Verdict

Previous exchanges between Millwall and Leicester City have definitely gone in the favour of the east midlands visitors as Leicester City have won five out of the last six meetings against their London hosts and we should expect the promotion-chasing Foxes to gain the upper hand here on Tuesday night as well, with Enzo Maresca's side looking to press on with their promotion plans.

Therefore, our main bet will be Leicester City win @ 1.70
