Millwall vs West Bromwich Albion Prediction

Millwall have been on a poor run of form this year, having failed to score in their last two games. West Brom also have just one win this year and have just two goals in their last nine away games.

With that in mind, a low-scoring draw seems to be the most likely outcome here.

Prediction: Millwall 1-1 West Bromwich Albion
