Hull City vs Millwall Predictions

Can Hull City and Millwall Finally Break Their Winless Streaks in a Battle of Resilience?

• Millwall have scored 5 goals but conceded 7 in their first two league matches.
• Hull City have drawn their last two games with 1-1 scorelines.
• Both teams have yet to keep a clean sheet in the Championship this season.

Best Bet

Hull City are set to welcome Millwall to the MKM Stadium this Saturday, as both clubs seek their first victory of the Championship season. The Tigers have managed two draws in their opening matches, showing resilience but lacking the cutting edge to secure a win. Meanwhile, Millwall have experienced heartbreak, losing both of their first two games despite spirited comebacks, leaving them desperate for a positive result in this fixture.

The most compelling bet for this fixture is undoubtedly backing Both Teams to Score. Hull City and Millwall have shown a tendency to find the back of the net, but both sides have also displayed vulnerabilities in defence, making this market an attractive option.

Hull City’s start to the season has been marked by a strong mentality, clawing back late goals to salvage draws in both of their opening matches. However, their defensive solidity has not been fully established, conceding in every competitive match so far. Millwall, on the other hand, have already proven they can score goals, netting five times in their two league matches, but their defensive frailties have been starkly exposed, conceding seven goals in those same games. The Lions’ matches have been high-scoring affairs, with a chaotic 4-3 loss to Bristol City highlighting both their attacking prowess and defensive instability.

When analysing the underlying statistics, both teams show tendencies that favour goals on both ends. Hull City are averaging a decent 12.5 shots per game, with 3.5 on target. While this may not be prolific, their conversion has been crucial in keeping them in games. Millwall, meanwhile, have been even more active in front of goal, averaging 15.5 shots per game with 4 on target. Their big chance creation is noteworthy, averaging 5 per match, but they have also been guilty of squandering opportunities, missing 3.5 big chances per game. This mixture of attacking intent and defensive lapses from both sides suggests that goals are likely to be shared.

Moreover, with Millwall’s Duncan Watmore already netting three times this season, and Hull’s Oscar Estupinan proving reliable from the spot, the likelihood of both sides scoring increases. The pressure on both teams to secure their first win of the season could lead to an open and attacking game, with neither side likely to sit back.

As BettingTips4You.com expert Steve Harrington summarises: “With both teams eager to find their first win and the defences looking shaky, it’s hard to see this game ending without both teams finding the back of the net. Expect goals at both ends.”

Additional Prediction

Another intriguing bet for this match could be Over 9.5 Corners. Both Hull City and Millwall have shown a propensity to win corners, partly due to their attacking style and the defensive pressure they often find themselves under.

Hull City, despite their modest goal-scoring record, have averaged 2.5 corners per game, which is relatively low, but this is likely to increase as they look to assert dominance at home and improve their attacking output. Meanwhile, Millwall, with their aggressive forward play, have averaged 4.5 corners per game. With both teams likely to push forward in search of goals, corners should naturally follow, particularly if the game becomes stretched.

Given that Millwall’s aerial threat, especially with players like Tom Bradshaw and Jake Cooper, often results in corners, and Hull’s need to break down a potentially compact Millwall defence, this match has the makings of one that could see double figures in corner count.
