Millwall vs Luton Town Prediction: Millwall are notoriously difficult to beat at home

Millwall and Luton Town will engage in a highly anticipated encounter on Friday afternoon, both eager to secure a pivotal victory that could bolster their respective aspirations of clinching a spot in the Championship playoffs.

Millwall’s Form

Gary Rowett, the manager of Millwall, will be left disheartened by his team's recent form, having suffered a 1-0 defeat to Huddersfield Town, followed by a goalless draw against West Bromwich Albion.

Despite their recent setbacks, Millwall is still holding on to fifth place in the standings and has an advantageous fixture list for the rest of the season.

Given that Millwall has only secured three wins in their last eight fixtures, it is imperative that they improve their form and rectify their poor home record, with two losses in their previous three matches at The Den.

On February 28th of this year, the last encounter between Millwall and Luton Town took place at Kenilworth Road, where Millwall initially led 2-0 but was later pegged back to settle for a 2-2 draw.

Millwall’s possible lineup

Long; McNamara, Hutchinson, Cooper, Wallace; Leonard, Saville; Honeyman, Flemming, Voglsammer; Bradshaw.

Luton Town’s Form

Upon being appointed as Luton's manager, Rob Edwards was tasked with the responsibility of leading the team to secure a coveted playoff spot, despite the club being considered a significant underdog in the fiercely contested race for the top six.

Edwards' primary objective is to secure a playoff spot, and with Luton currently trailing second-placed Sheffield United by just six points, his focus will undoubtedly be on the immediate future.

To attain their playoff aspirations, Luton Town may need to achieve a near-flawless run of results until the end of the season. However, their Friday opponent, Millwall, is also competing for the same objective.

Luton’s possible lineup

Horvath; Osho, Lockyer, Bell; Drameh, Mpanzu, Nakamba, Doughty; Campbell; Morris, Adebayo.
