Match Prediction: Millwall 1-1 West Bromwich Albion

Millwall's recent form has been a bit of a rollercoaster, but they've shown they can grind out results at home. They'll need to be solid at the back after that thrashing by Coventry, but their win against Watford shows they can be tough to beat on their own turf. West Brom, on the other hand, have been inconsistent away from home, with a couple of wins and a defeat. They'll fancy their chances, but Millwall's home advantage could be key.

The game might be tight, with both teams looking to exploit any mistakes. Millwall will look to use their recent home form to their advantage, while West Brom will need to be more clinical in front of goal than they were against Middlesbrough and Derby. Expect a battle in midfield and a few chances at both ends.

Millwall's recent form has been up and down, with a heavy loss to Coventry at home, but they've managed to pick up points against Swansea and Watford. That win against Watford will give them confidence going into this game, especially as they are at home.
