- Leicester City have failed to win any of their last five games (D3, L2).
- Millwall have lost one of their last five Championship matches (W2, D2).
- Millwall are unbeaten in their last three away games (W1, D2).
Millwall can take the spoils at Leicester
This is a massive game at either end of the table as the Lions are set to leapfrog the struggling Foxes on Friday and into the top-six while the hosts struggle to stay afloat.
Leicester City have managed just seven wins from their 21 home matches in the Championship this term and now find themselves third-bottom of the division with 41 points from 43 games. Gary Rowett took the reins in February 2026 and has done a decent job of steadying the ship after a tumultuous season.
However, they have suffered consecutive defeats in their previous two games, losing 1-0 at home to Swansea City before a 1-0 defeat at Portsmouth last weekend. Rowett has overseen a subtle shift from a more possession-based, high-pressing style of play under Maresca to a more pragmatic and direct approach.
Lions have a bite and the bite to win
Millwall sit 3rd in the table with 76 points from 43 matches and Alex Neil has done an outstanding job since taking the reins in December 2024, instilling a clinical and results-focused blueprint to the squad.
The Lions defend in a compact shape, while Neil’s men have the structure and pace on the counter-attack to make teams pay when they do. Millwall’s away record is one of the best in the Championship with ten wins from 21 games and they have lost just one of their last five (W2, D2).
The Den dwellers can take heart from the fact that the two sides have each won two of their last four meetings, although Millwall have not claimed an away win at Leicester in that period. Patson Daka remains Leicester’s biggest threat, having scored two of their last three goals in a team that struggles to create, while Jordan James (10 goals, 31 games) remains Leicester's top scorer.
Neil’s Millwall can be hard to break down
Josh Coburn has scored three times in Millwall’s last five league matches to put the ball in the net for his team and push them into the playoff places.
Leicester are averaging 1.33 goals per game at home while Millwall’s defence concedes just 1.05 goals per away game, so there’s no value in supporting the hosts to score, even with home advantage. Back an away victory at 33/20 as Millwall are the rightful favourites here and will have the belief to come to the King Power and take all three points.
The last four head-to-heads between these sides have seen each team win twice, with no draws, but the form points to an away success on Friday.
