Leicester City vs Millwall Prediction: Foxes can touch 50 points midway season

Leicester City will welcome Millwall at King Power Stadium in Game Week 21 of the English Championship. Leicester can touch 50 points this season in this game. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

Leicester City forward Patson Daka, who has seen limited playing time in the Championship this season, displayed professionalism and scored a goal in his team's 4-0 win over Plymouth Argyle. Daka has faced tough competition for a starting spot but made a significant contribution when given the opportunity. Leicester's victory was their most comfortable of the season, with goals from Stephy Mavididi, Wilfred Ndidi, and a brace from Daka. Meanwhile, title rivals Ipswich Town also secured a noteworthy win against Middlesbrough, maintaining a one-point lead over Leicester at the top of the table. A midfield trio consisting of Ndidi, Harry Winks, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is formidable, with Dewsbury-Hall particularly impressive with his goal-scoring and assist-making abilities. However, the head coach Maresca expects even more creativity from him. Leicester has an impressive record at their home stadium, King Power, having collected 24 points from 10 matches and conceding only four goals. This demonstrates the strength of their defense, with players like Jannik Vestergaard and Wout Faes performing well and keeping Conor Coady on the bench for most of the season.

Leicester City Predicted Lineup

Hermansen; Pereira, Faes, Vestergaard, Justin; Winks, Ndidi, Dewsbury-Hall; Fatawu, Mavididi, Daka

Millwall form

Millwall have experienced a string of defeats under the leadership of former Everton and Chelsea assistant Joe Edwards, losing three out of their last four games. Their latest loss came against Cardiff City, who are vying for a top-six position, and managed to secure a fortunate victory with the game's only goal.

The match lacked quality overall, but Cardiff's centre-back Dimitrios Goutas was able to score a header that was not particularly powerful. However, Millwall's goalkeeper Matija Sarkic, who was returning from an injury, failed to save the ball effectively, resulting in Cardiff taking all three points.

With Edwards now at the helm, Millwall's playing style has shifted towards a possession-based approach. However, this new strategy has not been fruitful, with their only win under Edwards coming against relegation-threatened Sheffield Wednesday. This victory was achieved thanks to goals from Wes Harding and Brooke Norton-Cuffy.

Strikers Tom Bradshaw and Zian Flemming, who were instrumental in Millwall's push for the playoffs last season, have struggled to find the back of the net. Despite scoring a combined total of 32 goals during the previous season, they have only managed to score five goals so far this season.

The fortunes of Leicester and Millwall have differed greatly in recent years. The last time the two teams met was in November 2013, with Leicester emerging victorious thanks to goals from Lloyd Dyer and Jamie Vardy. Millwall, managed by Steve Lomas at the time, suffered a defeat in that match.

Millwall Predicted Lineup

Sarkic; Harding, Hutchinson, Cooper, Wallace; Norton-Cuffy, Mitchell, Saville, Longman; Flemming, Bradshaw
