Millwall vs Brentford Prediction & Betting tips
Millwall receives fellow townman Brentford at The Den in London on Friday afternoon. The home team needs the points most in the fight against relegation. Brentford has been played for this season and can only rise or fall two more places in the ranking. Which team is the favorite on Friday afternoon?
Millwall:
Millwall picked up an important point last Saturday at Sheffield United. The team of manager Neil Harris took a hit shortly after the break, but after sending John Egan away, Jake Cooper made it 1-1 in the fifth injury time. He accepted the yellow card he took after taking off his shirt. For Millwall, the draw meant the fifth point in the last three games.
If we look at the rankings, Millwall is only two points above the relegation line but it still has a duel credit. It also has a better goal difference than Wigan Athletic, which is twenty-first and Rotherham United. What is also likely to work in favor of Millwall is the number of home games. Including the game of Good Friday, this season it plays at home three more times against Brentford, Stoke City and Bristol City. It is still visiting Aston Villa and on the last day of play it still travels to Wigan. It will be exciting weeks for Millwall but with a good result against Brentford it will take a giant step towards enforcement.
Brentford:
It was never really quiet at Brentford this season. Dean Smith started the season very strong with Brentford and was even in the top six of the Championship with his team for a few weeks. Insiders hinted the Londoners as outsiders for the title but the change of coaches did not do The Bees any good. The Dane Thomas Frank started unprecedentedly badly as a replacement for Smith and had won only once after ten games. This weak series made Brentford slide down to the lower regions of the ranking.
The directors of the club intervened mid-season. The manager was not replaced, but an experienced assistant was put on the bench next to Frank and the playing style was changed from open and offensive to controlling and defending. This last change had an effect because in 2019 Brentford again showed what it can stand for during some competitions. Manager Thomas Frank looked ahead to the game against Millwall on Wednesday afternoon: ‘The Den is difficult to play against a strong opponent. I have Henry again. Unfortunately, Benrahma has been eliminated for the rest of the season after some outrageous violations of Reading players. This only offers opportunities for players such as Marcondes and Canos. ”
