Our prediction for this Championship match:
Bet365 Stadium will host Monday’s football game between Stoke City and Millwall, the two teams who are level on points in the Championship standings. The Potters aim to build on back-to-back wins over Derby County and Bristol City, and we are positive that they will adopt yet another attack-minded approach. Keep in mind, though, that Michael O’Neill can’t count on the likes of Nathan Collins, Tyrese Campbell, Sam Clucas, Morgan Fox, and Joe Allen for the match.
The Lions, on the other hand, managed to keep their promotion hopes alive thanks to back-to-back wins over Middlesbrough and Rotherham United. The capital club have been impressive at the back of late, and we are positive that they will rely on their rock-solid defence in Monday’s clash. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards at bet365 Stadium, and we are tempted to put our money on draw. Both Shaun Hutchinson and Ryan Leonard are injured for the visitors.
