Millwall vs Leeds United Prediction: Both teams are sitting comfortably in top half

Millwall will welcome Leeds United at The Den in Game Week 14 of the English Championship. Both teams are sitting comfortably in the top half of the table. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

Millwall form

Millwall return to The Den on Wednesday looking to maintain a good run in the Championship. Since the October international break, they have been good and are now within reach of the top six in the league.

Before the break, Millwall had collected nine points from their first nine games. Their last five matches however were without a defeat: Millwall started by holding Derby County to a 1-1 draw before taking three on consecutive games, which include, Plymouth Argyle and clean sheet win against Swansea City.

Their latest test came against second-placed Burnley on Sunday, where Jake Coope scored the decisive goal in a hard-fought victory. With only 12 goals conceded in 13 matches, Millwall has one of the best defensive records in the Championship this season.

They now sit two points off West Bromwich Albion and four off the top four in the league table and now will be targeting winning for the fourth successive match in a row, ensuring the position at the end.

Millwall Starting Line Up

Jensen; Leonard, Hutchinson, Tanganga, Wallace; De Norre, Saville; Esse, Honeyman, Azeez; Langstaff

Leeds United Form

Leeds United plays a tough match against an in-form team in London that is looking to seal automatic promotion. Under the guidance of Daniel Farke, they had a good start to their campaign for promotion and currently boast 26 points from 13 games. Leeds has enjoyed a good run both defensively and offensively as well, scoring 22 times and conceding just eight, with eight clean sheets so far.

Their only loss of the season so far came in September when they were defeated by Burnley, but since then they have accumulated five wins and three draws. Their latest win over Plymouth Argyle was a comfortable 3-0 win, with Daniel James, Joel Piroe, and Brenden Aaronson all scoring. Leeds climbed to second with this win and will look to continue their nine-match unbeaten run and seven on the road as they enter Wednesday's game.

Leeds United Likely Starting XI

Meslier; Bogle, Rodon, Struijk, Firpo; Rothwell, Tanaka; Gnonto, Aaronson, James; Piroe

Millwall v Leeds United Best Prediction

Even though both clubs were thought to have toiled against a tough tie at The Den yesterday evening, Millwall is far from shabby in the current Championship campaign. On Wednesday, I think they have a very good chance against more talent-laden side Leeds United.
