Our prediction for this Championship match:
Kenilworth Road will host Tuesday’s football game between Luton and Millwall, the two playoffs-chasing sides. The Hatters aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Birmingham City, and a triumph over Millwall will see them stay in top six. Defender Tom Lockyer is back from suspension, while all Carlton Morris, Reece Burke, Jack Walton, Luke Freeman, and Sonny Bradley miss out with injuries.
The Lions, on the other hand, defeated Stoke City thanks to Zian Flemming’s goal at the weekend to stay in the playoffs berth, but beating Luton on the road is easier said than done. In their last meeting in the Championship, the two teams played out a 2-2 draw, and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. As for the away team, all Duncan Watmore, Mason Bennett, Callum Styles, and Tyler Burey remain in the treatment room, while both Aidomo Emakhu and Oliver Burke are major doubts.
