Our prediction for this Championship match:
Barnsley will be aiming to extend their winning run in the Championship to five games when they take on Millwall at Oakwell. The Tykes have been producing splendid displays in February, and a win over Millwall should see them climb to the playoffs berth. Talented USA forward Daryl Dike, who found the net in the 2-0 win over Stoke, is pushing for a start, while both Kitching and Williams are likely to miss the game with injuries.
The Lions, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous six league fixtures. The capital club have been impressive at the back of late, and seeing that Barnsley managed to keep a clean sheet in each of their previous two league matches, under 2.5 goals betting option should be considered. The likes of Cooper, Leonard, Mahoney, Wallace, and Zohore are all likely to miss the game through injuries.
