- West Brom are fourth in the Championship 2026/2027 table with 24 points from 13 games, while Millwall are 12th with 18.
- West Brom have won three of their six home Championship 2026/2027 games, drawing two and losing one, while Millwall have won two, drawn one and lost three of their six away from home.
Baggies are a well-structured machine under Morrison
West Brom are a very well-organised unit that plays a measured possession game with a bit of a mean streak under James Morrison's watchful eye. West Brom have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five games.
Millwall hit back in fine style from that setback by thrashing Derby 4-1 at home, and the Lions have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five.
Morrison has instilled structure in Albion, while Neil has his Lions set up in a low-risk, compact block to live off their organisation, set-pieces and counter-attacking play. It will be an interesting contest of build-up play versus discipline at The Hawthorns.
Lions look to set up a cagey affair
West Bromwich Albion are the slight favourites at 1/1, ahead of Millwall at 12/5 and the draw at 13/5.
Albion failed to win either of their previous two home games against Millwall, although the last meeting at this level finished 0-0 at The Hawthorns six months ago. So the head-to-head history and the odds all lean towards a cagey game, which would suit Neil's side.
Our alternative bet for this game is Both Teams to Score at 67/100, which is better suited to the possibility of a lively fixture.
Albion have the edge in terms of scoring power
Jimmy-Jay Morgan leads the way for the hosts with three Championship goals from eight appearances while Isaac Price, who has two of Albion's last six goals in five games, is also a threat. Lyndon Dykes is a big threat for Millwall, particularly in the penalty box, with four Championship goals in eight games.
West Brom have been more prolific than the visitors, with nine goals scored in six at home, while the visitors have eight in six away. But, the way Neil has his team set up, it is better to leave the win bet alone and play the odds on goals.
Morrison's men have the greater scoring power and look the more likely winner of the game, but it will probably be a one-goal margin that would leave the draw in the game.
