Our prediction for this Championship match:
Saturday’s football game at the Den pits together Millwall and Sunderland, the two teams who were beaten by Ipswich Town and Huddersfield Town respectively in midweek. The Lions have been slipping down the standings week by week, but they are safe for now. Scotland forward Kevin Nisbet, who scored as a substitute in the midweek defeat, is pushing for a start, while both Danny McNamara and Joe Bryan remain in the recovery room.
The Black Cats, on the other hand, aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Plymouth and Huddersfield, but given their shaky defence, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. As for the away team, all Dennis Cirkin, Timothee Pembele, Jay Matete, Aji Alese, and Corry Evans are out of contention with injuries. In their last meeting in London the two teams played out a 1-1 draw, but home win should be considered this time out.

Born in Greenwich, England on December 31, 1993, Bradley Dack is a midfielder who plays for Blackburn Rovers in the Championship.

The Lions share rivalry with Charlton as well and the two teams first met back in 1921. The Den is Milwall’s home ground at the capacity of the stadium, which was opened in 1993, is 20.146.
The capital club did well to make it to the 2003/2004 FA Cup final, but Premier League giants Manchester United proved to be a big catch for the Lions. The Red Devils won the game 3-0, but despite suffering the heavy loss in the title game, Milwall booked their place in the UEFA Cup. However, Ferencvaros of Hungary proved to be a big catch for the English outfit in the two-legged tie.
