Millwall v West Brom Betting Tips [29 January 2022]

West Bromwich Albion will be hoping to reignite their promotion hopes after a recent slump, and that they hope to do at Millwall’s backyard. The two sides face off on the back of poor runs that have seen them drop in the standings. Millwall, the hosts, are 15th going into this game, with 33 points and West Brom are fifth with 45 points. On to this game, Millwall takes a run of four straight losses. Their most recent loss, 1-0 away to Blackpool, was the second straight time they failed to score. Only once in the last five matches have they managed a clean sheet and they’ve also scored more than a goal in one of the five matches. Three of these five matches have produced under 2.5 goals.

West Bromwich Albion, once on top of the Championship standings, and favorites for a straight return to the Premier League, have sunk low in recent weeks. They are far away from the automatic promotion slots than they are to dropping out of the top six. In their last even matches, across all competitions, they’ve managed just one win, and that was against a struggling Peterborough United. The 3-0 win in that game was their only clean sheet in the last six matches and indeed, they aren’t doing well. The team that earlier in the season was free scoring, is now struggling to score; in the last 10 league matches, West Brom have failed to score in six. Eight of their last 10 Championship matches have ended in under 2.5 goals and going into this game, they have three losses in their last five league games.

West Bromwich Albion’s free scoring start to the season is not something they enjoy anymore. They have been struggling in attack in their recent matches and Millwall will not make it any easier. Millwall themselves have also not been scoring a lot and as a result, most of their games have returned under 2.5 goals. With the two sides struggling in attack, we will back this to produce under 2.5 goals.
