Millwall vs Oxford: match preview
Millwall are currently in the race for second place, which makes this fixture incredibly important for the side. The Lions sit third in the table with 80 points after 45 matches, just one point behind Ipswich and one point ahead of Middlesbrough. That means they must win here and hope Ipswich slip up. It is a fortunate situation for them, as they face a side with nothing left to play for.
Oxford are in the relegation zone and are certain to leave the Championship. After 45 rounds, the team have 47 points and trail 21st place — the final survival spot — by four points. With only one round remaining, there is no chance of overturning that deficit.
That leaves Millwall with every opportunity to claim all three points. Their recent form is not bad, as they are unbeaten in four straight games, although two of those four ended in draws. This is a match they simply have to win.
Projected lineups
- Millwall: Patterson; Leonard, Crama, Cooper, Sturge; De Norre, Mazou-Sacko; Azeez, Neghli, Ballo; Ivanovic
- Oxford United: Cumming; Long, Helik, Brown, Spencer; Vaulks, Konak; Mills, Donley, Peart-Harris; Lankshear
Prediction
I believe Millwall will get the win, and they need to. My suggested bet is Millwall team total over 2 goals.
