"The Lions" are counting on three points! Millwall vs Watford Prediction
One of the matches in the opening round of the Championship will take place in London, where Millwall will host Watford at The Den. Here’s a prediction for this match from the Dailysports expert team.
Millwall
The "Lions" ended last season in impressive fashion, securing five consecutive victories in the league. Despite this strong finish, Millwall fell short of the playoffs, concluding the season in a modest 13th place, 14 points adrift of the top six.
In their preparations for the new campaign, Millwall played a series of friendly matches with mixed results. They managed to defeat Murcia and Reading but suffered losses to Southampton, Colchester United, and Nottingham Forest.
Watford
The "Hornets" disappointed their fans with both their performances and results last season, finishing in a lackluster 15th position. They found themselves closer to a relegation battle than to promotion contention, ending up just six points clear of the drop zone.
Watford's form at the end of the season was poor, with only one win and two losses in their final five matches. Their preseason results were similarly underwhelming, alternating between victories and defeats against relatively modest opponents.
