After tipping up two winners from three selections across his featured columns over the weekend, SlipsTips is back with a Bet Builder for Millwall's meeting with Queens Park Rangers in the English Championship on Tuesday night.
Millwall vs Queens Park Rangers (Tuesday, 19:45)
Queens Park Rangers will be looking to return to winning ways in the English Championship when they make the short trip to Millwall on Tuesday night.
Mark Warburton's men fell to a shock 1-0 defeat at basement-club Barnsley on Saturday, a setback which has left the Hoops trailing second-placed Bournemouth by six points.
Millwall, meanwhile, strengthened their mid-table position by earning a 2-1 win over Cardiff at the weekend, meaning the Lions have lost just one of their last four second tier assignments.
With a lack of goals anticipated and neither team appealing in the 1X2 market, I’m once again going to head to the Bet Builder feature to throw together a same game multiple.
Combining each team to receive a card and over three match cards will bring about a backable 4/5 (Bet 365) angle of attack that looks worthy of interest.
Gary Rowett's hosts are averaging 1.93 cards per-game this season, with the east Londoners collecting a minimum of one card in 28 of their 30 English Championship outings this season so far.
Visitors QPR's bookings per 90 minutes tally also sits at 1.93, with the Loftus Road outfit receiving at least one card in 26 of their last 28 tier two tussles.
With that in mind, coupled with the fact that referee James Linington – one of the EFL's most card-heavy officials – will oversee proceedings between these two London rivals on Tuesday night, I'm keen to side with cards in this Den dust-up.
The 38-year-old whistler is averaging a shade under five cards per-game this term, not to mention he has dished out five or more bookings in each of the last five English Championship fixtures that he has taken charge of.
What's more, the aforementioned Bet Builder would have paid out in 14/18 (77.77%) Championship matches under Linington's watch this season so far and I see no reason that will stop here in what promises to be a keenly-contested London derby under the lights.
