Sunderland vs Millwall Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Joseph King | in Championship Prediction
The English Championship resumes after a three week break hiatus with 15th-place Sunderland taking on sixth-place Millwall at the Stadium of Light. Since taking over as Sunderland boss, manager Tony Mowbray has only been victorious in five of his 14 matches. He’ll the long rest coupled with the energy from the home fans will be enough to lift his Sunderland side over a Millwall team that has been below-par on the road this season.

Sunderland - Millwall: Form Analysis
Sunderland have struggled somewhat this season in their return to the second flight of English football following their promotion via the League One playoff last season. They’ve managed seven wins, six draws and seven defeats through their first 20 matches as we approach the halfway mark of the league campaign. However, there were signs before the World Cup break that the Black Cats might be poised for a run in the second half of the season to surge up the table. Sunderland won two of their last three matches before the break, with the most recent a 2-1 away win over Birmingham. On the other side, Millwall come into this match off the back of a win of their own in their last competitive match before the World Cup break. The Lions ran out 4-2 victors over Preston North End, although the win was only their first in the previous four matches.

Sunderland & Millwall Squad Analysis
Sunderland top goalscorer Ross Stewart, who has five goals and three assists this campaign in just seven matches may be able to feature in this match after being out since August. However, he might have to settle for a spot on the bench and a possible super-sub appearance as manager Tony Mowbray may be hesitant to throw him right back into the starting 11 after missing so much time. Millwall don’t appear to be dealing with any significant absences and are likely to line up with the same lineup that proved effective against Preston in their last outing.

Our Sunderland vs Millwall Prediction
We’re going to back Sunderland on the draw no bet as our pick for this match. The Black Cats were in good form before the break, winning two of their final three matches, and the hope is that they will have been able to recharge over the past three weeks. The return of Ross Stewart would be a huge boost to the hosts as the 26-year-old Scot could prove to make the difference, even if he is limited to a sub appearance. With Millwall’s away struggles this season, back Sunderland to get the three points here while a return of your stake should hte match end in a draw provides an extra layer of insurance.
