Stoke City
Stoke City recovered from conceding a second-minute goal as Josh Laurent’s brace helped defeat Swansea City 3-1 on Tuesday to move six points above the relegation zone. Despite the triumph, manager Alex Neil was disappointed “to concede early” which has become an unwanted habit for his side.
Inconsistency has been plaguing the Potters for a while with no consecutive league wins since mid-October and achieving that here would also see them post back-to-back league wins at the Bet365 Stadium for the first time this season, after a 3-0 victory in their last home league outing.
Millwall
Millwall will arrive in a confident mood after securing four points from their last two matches against the top-two clubs, although the team needed Tom Bradshaw from the bench to secure a 1-1 draw against leaders Burnley on Tuesday.
The Lions have been a relatively tough unit to breach with only three Championship sides conceding fewer than the 33 goals they’ve allowed ahead of the round. That could make for a low-scoring affair here especially as Millwall’s last four away games (W2, L2) have been decided by a single-goal margin with three ending 1-0.
Despite the fact that there are 13 positions difference between the two teams, the bookies are slightly favoring Stoke to win this match. However, Millwall are in high confidence after their last two games and for that, we will back The Lions to cover the double chance.
Stoke City has scored 1.25 goals per game while playing at the bet365 Stadium in the Championship this term. The Potters have netted seven goals in theur previous three home games. With odds of 1.35 at 1xBet, we predict Stoke City will score over 0.5 goals.
Lewis Baker has scored either the first (x4) or the last (x2) goal for Stoke in his last six Championship goalscoring appearances. Zian Flemming tends to pounce later, netting Millwall’s last goal in five of his last six league-scoring games.
Stoke City’s Josh Tymon has an ankle injury and will miss action until mid-March. Also, Sam Clucas has a back injury and must be ready to play in early March.
On Millwall’s side, Shaun Hutchinson with a groin injury, Mason Bennett with an ankle injury, and Tyler Burey with a hip injury are all out till early March. Callum Styles’s muscle injury is expected to heal by May.
