Our prediction for this Championship match:
Luton Town and Millwall face each other at Kenilworth Road in the Championship round 32. The Hatters have been struggling in front of goal of late, with the team failing to find the net in back-to-back losses to Cardiff City (0-2) and Stoke City (0-3). Luton Town are eager to climb to the top half of the table, but the game against Millwall will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts. All Eunan O’Kane, Matty Pearson, and Tom Lockyer are likely to miss the game through injuries.
The Lions, on the other hand, have been in a fine form of late, with the team collecting ten points in total from the previous four league fixtures. The capital club did well to beat Reading in their last away game in the Championship, and despite the number of absentees in the away side, we are tempted to put our money on the Lions. All Zohore, Cooper, Mahoney, and Wallace are injured, while both Leonard and Kieftenbeld are rated doubtful for the game.
