Ahead of Saturday’s EFL Championship clash, we have the Watford vs Millwall preview, prediction, team news and predicted lineups.
Watford Vs Millwall Preview
Watford will be aiming to continue their playoff push after picking up seven points from their last three EFL Championship games.
The Hornets haven’t conceded in that trio of fixtures which included victories over Middlesbrough and arch-rivals Luton Town.
On March 1, Tom Cleverley’s men were held to a goalless draw against Stoke at the bet365 Stadium. Worryingly, the Hertfordshire side managed just one shot on target against the Potters.
That may or may not come as a concern to ers who find their side occupying 10th spot in the league. As it stands, The ‘Orns are just three points off the top six.
In the reverse fixture against Saturday’s opponents, Edo Kayembe, Giorgi Chakvetadze and Mileta Rajovic all netted in a 3-2 victory.

Millwall are still feeling the pressure from the media owing to Liam Roberts’ horror tackle on Jean-Philippe Mateta. The Premier League star was stretchered off in the FA Cup clash on Saturday.
Calls for applauded Roberts during Tuesday’s loss to Bristol City.
Lions boss Alex Neil will want his side fully focused on the task in hand with the South Londoners still in with a decent shout of the playoffs.
The defeat to the in-form Robins certainly didn’t help their cause. However, a win in Hertfordshire will at least put them back in contention.
Ahead of Saturday’s clash, the best football betting sites in the UK price Watford as the 13/10 favourites. Millwall can be backed at 23/10 with the draw 2/1.
