Millwall vs Leicester Prediction

Millwall Form

Millwall swept all aside in their last three matches and started off by winning 2-0 against Queens Park Rangers. They went on to defeat Norwich 1-0 and made it three on the spin against Bristol City in a 0-1 victory. Millwall claimed just a single measly home win from a possible six in the FA Cup, which also saw them drawing zero and losing five matches, in which they scored ten and conceded 16 goals.

Leicester Form

Leicester look well suited to take on any opponent with seven points to show off from three matches. They started off drawing 1-1 with Ipswich, before downing first Cardiff by 0-2, then Huddersfield in a 4-1 win. In their last six FA Cup away matches, Leicester claimed a full handful of five wins. They've drawn none but in stead lost once, scoring 11 whilst conceding five times.
