Millwall will be hosting Watford in the two sides’ round 26 clash in the Championship, after their loss in the FA Cup over the weekend. The hosts head to the game placed 16th with 29 points and Watford are third in the standings with 46 points. A 3-0 loss at home to Bristol put another heavy dent to Millwall’s already tough season. As they shift focus to the Championship, the hope is for a better outing, to improve on their current run of three wins in 18 matches. Millwall have six wins in 24 matches in the Championship and have conceded 24 goals. The loss to Bristol is a highlight of their poor home form, with the team heading to this clash winless in nine at home and with no clean sheet. In the last 13 matches at home, they have registered just one clean sheet and in the Championship, they have managed two wins in the last 16 games.

Watford did not have FA Cup action, having been eliminated earlier and all focus for them is on promotion. Their loss to Manchester United in the cup competition was the last time they tasted defeat. They have now won all the three matches coming after the loss, and kept two clean sheets, which places them as favorites here. In the last five matches, Watford have failed to score in just one, and will have rested more, having had no FA Cup action over the weekend while Millwall were put to the sword. In the Championship, Watford have four wins in five matches. Nine of the last 11 in the league have seen under 2.5 goals and Watford needs to improve on their away run in the competition, having registered three wins in the last 12.
