Hammers flying high over Hammers
West Ham are top of the Championship 2026/2027 with 14 points from 7 matches, while Millwall sit 12th with 9 points from 6. The Hammers are clear favourites at 39/50 for this Saturday's clash at The Den, with the Lions available at 3/1 and the draw at 29/10.
The bookies are right to favour West Ham as they are the form team having won 4 of their last 5 (1 draw) and are on a 4-match winning streak. The Lions, meanwhile, have 1 win and 4 defeats from their last 5, and have lost back-to-back.
Hammers have a clear edge
The shape-first approach of Nuno Espirito Santo's men should cause the home side all manner of problems in the opening exchanges as Millwall are a high-pressing team that will look to turn the ball over and hit their opponents fast on the counterattack. The Hammers have been ruthless in their approach to late-game matches, backing up their 3-2 away win at Bolton with a 6-0 home victory over Wrexham.
Millwall have also been positive under Alex Neil, who has transformed them into an aggressive unit that presses high and looks to spring fast vertical attacks. The Lions put their teeth on show in a 4-0 home win over Bolton, but that result was followed by a 0-1 cup defeat at Newcastle and a 1-3 league defeat at Blackburn.
Both teams can strike
The Both Teams to Score option looks live at 13/25, but West Ham to win and over 2.5 goals looks the better fit to the form of the teams and the firepower they possess. Bowen is the dangerman for the visitors with 4 goals in 7 Championship 2026/2027 appearances, while Josh Coburn is the scoring pacesetter for the hosts with 2 goals in 4.
West Ham have won 1 and drawn 2 of their 3 away matches this season, so the evidence is on the side of the visitors here. They have scored 2.00 goals per game on average on the road, while Millwall have conceded 3 goals in 3 home games in this competition.
Millwall are a lively team and could cause West Ham problems on Saturday, but the away side are well-drilled and their wing-backs and counterattacking bursts look ready to come on strong. The bookies have it right that West Ham are favourites, although Millwall's home advantage and energy could make this an edgy local battle.
