Millwall vs Birmingham City Prediction
The two sides are relatively comfortable in mid-table and just one point separates both sides in the standings.
Birmingham City have struggled on their travels this season and have failed to find the back of the net in six of their seven away league games this term. This suggests that a low-scoring game could be on the cards but we are backing the hosts to secure a narrow victory in addition to a clean sheet.
Prediction: Millwall 1-0 Birmingham City
