Millwall vs Luton Town

, KO: 12:30 Sep 14, 2024, The Den
Luton Town

Luton Town have collected just one point from four games in the EFL Championship so they desperately need a win on the road at Millwall to spark their season into life.

The Hatters were savouring their Premier League adventure this time a year ago, but if results don't pick up soon, they could find themselves in a battle to avoid successive relegations.

Rob Edwards' side looked in decent shape to make a push for promotion at the start of the season, having managed to keep most of last term's squad together.

But they've made a dismal start and lost 2-1 at home to QPR before the international break, a game where a goals bet landed for me, set some alarm bells ringing.

Millwall's start has been a little better. They have collected four points from their four games, and they headed into the break on a high after crushing Sheffield Wednesday 3-0 at home.

If they can repeat that performance, The Den will be rocking again, and it's another tough test for Luton as they bid to get out of a downward spiral.

How the bookies view it: Millwall marginal favourites

This is a tough one to call but Befred make Millwall slight 6/4 favourites with home advantage. Luton Town are 13/8 shots and the draw pays 21/10.

Recent head to head: Daggers drawn

The last three meetings have ended in stalemates, with the teams battling out a dreary 0-0 draw on Luton's last visit in April 2023. The Den hasn't been a happy hunting ground of late of the Hatters, with just one win in their last eight visits.

Players to watch: Coburn's a dead shot

Millwall new-boy Josh Coburn has made a good start to his Lions career, with two goals from his first four outings. He netted against Sheffield Wednesday last time out and is 12/5 for any time scorer here.

Elijah Adebayo has yet to get off the mark for Luton Town this season, which is a surprise given he performed so well in the top flight last term. The forward should get up and running soon and he's 2/1 to score here.

Probable teams

New signing Mihailo Ivanovic look set to miss out for Millwall again while Tom Bradshaw, Murray Wallace, Billy Mitchell ad Adam Mayor are also unlikely to feature.

Daiki Hashioka, Jacob Brown and Tom Lockyer remain out for Luton while Tom Krauss is a doubt. New signing Victor Moses will probably have to settle for a place on the bench at best due to a lack of match practice.

Millwall: Jensen, Cooper, Tanganga, Bryan, Leonard, Watmore, Saville, De Norre, Esse, Honeyman, Coburn.

Luton Town: Kaminski, Bell, McGuinness. Menghi, Walters, Clark, Baptiste, Doughty, Morris, Adebayo, Chong.

Anything else catch the eye?

Luton Town were involved in plenty of thrillers last season, but their three away games so far this term have been pretty dull, with under 2.5 goals in all three. Millwall's matches have been more exciting, though, with over 2.5 goals in three of their four league clashes, so I'm going for goals here.

Over 2.5 strikes is a decent evens with Betfred and if you combine that with BTTS it boosts the odds to 5/4. Most goals have come after the break in three of Millwall's four Championship outings so far, making that bet another good option at 11/10.

Millwall midfielder George Saville collected 13 yellows and a red last term so the Northern Ireland star appeals at 2/1 for another card in this one.
