Birmingham City vs Millwall Prediction
Birmingham City were lackluster in their EFL Cup elimination by Cardiff City in midweek. The Blues will turn their focus back to the league scene where they have started impressively and remain unbeaten. Up next for them will be Millwall, with the Lions' visit representing a tricky proposition, having not beaten them at home in a decade.
Millwall, on their part, have started the season indifferently but ended their three-game losing streak with their victory over Stoke City last week. The Bermondsey outfit will be the fresher side and have had extra days of rest following their early ouster from the League Cup.
We are backing the hosts to claim a routine win in addition to a clean sheet.
