- Goals on both sides: Three of Millwall’s last four games have seen both teams on the scoresheet, underlining their tendency to concede while still threatening themselves.
- Watford’s leaky defence: The Hornets are yet to keep a clean sheet this season, and they’ve conceded in four of their last five fixtures in all competitions.
- Tight scoring averages: Millwall average just 0.8 goals per Championship match, while Watford sit at 1.2, pointing towards a close affair rather than a high-scoring clash.

Both Teams to Score | |
19/20 - odds when tipped | |
Reasoning Backing Both Teams to Score feels the smartest play because neither side can defend with conviction, yet both remain capable of grabbing that all-important goal. It’s the kind of bet that reflects exactly how these two are playing right now. | |
There’s something about a Monday night under the lights at The Den that just feels a little different. Millwall, with their raucous support behind them, are searching for their first home points of the Championship season. It’s a worrying thought for the Lions faithful that they could begin a campaign with three successive home league defeats, something that hasn’t happened in a decade.

Standing in their way are Watford, who have hardly been setting the division alight themselves. The Hornets are yet to collect an away win this season, though they will be clinging to memories of a 3-2 victory on this very ground last term. Both teams come into this one with form that could politely be described as patchy – Millwall haven’t tasted victory in three outings, while Watford have just one win from five. With both sides limping into this fixture, it feels more like a test of resilience than flair.
The Lions will point to Ryan Leonard’s dramatic late equaliser at Selhurst Park in midweek as evidence that there’s still fight in the camp. Meanwhile, the Hornets will look to shrug off their frustrating home loss to Blackburn, where a single strike undid them. Neither fanbase will be brimming with confidence, but sometimes these types of nervy clashes deliver the most unpredictable outcomes.
Best Bet for Millwall vs Watford
Here at BettingTips4You we don’t flood you with multiple predictions. We prefer to cut through the noise and handpick the one standout bet that genuinely carries the most weight. That way, readers know exactly what we’re backing, and it makes life easier when keeping track of results. For this match, after weighing up the messy form of both sides, the injuries mounting up, and the attacking patterns that keep re-emerging, the bet we’re standing firmly behind is Both Teams to Score.
Now, why does this selection rise above all the others on the table? The evidence is compelling. Millwall might not be flying, but they’ve managed to find the net in six of their last eight across all competitions. Even when they lost 2-0 at home to Wrexham, they peppered the goal with 21 attempts. It wasn’t a lack of effort or intent, it was simply one of those days when the ball refused to cross the line. On another evening, with a similar approach, it would have been a different story entirely.
Watford, on the other hand, have been equally inconsistent but rarely quiet in attack. They’ve scored in four of their last five matches, with the exception being that flat defeat against Blackburn. Their front line has enough pace and trickery to stretch Millwall’s makeshift back four, which is already hampered by a long list of absentees. The Hornets’ midfield pairing of Moussa Sissoko and Imrân Louza should also ensure they have sufficient control to create openings.
The historical pattern between these sides also nudges us further in this direction. Three of the last four meetings have ended with goals for both teams, and with Millwall still looking vulnerable at home and Watford still searching for a clean sheet, everything points to another evening where neither defence emerges unscathed.

“When you’ve got two squads struggling for rhythm, you don’t back the clean sheet – you back the chaos. Both attacks will sniff weakness, and that usually means goals for both.”
And he’s right. Football is often about capitalising on frailties, and right now these sides are full of them. Add the pressure of their respective situations – Millwall needing to avoid another home embarrassment, Watford desperate to prove they can travel – and it feels inevitable that both sets of fans will at least have a goal to cheer.
Looking at the balance of play and the numbers, a 1-1 draw seems the most likely scoreline. Millwall are averaging less than a goal a game in the league, while Watford’s average sits only slightly higher. Neither side has shown the clinical edge to suggest a glut of goals, but both have enough in attack to cancel out each other’s weaknesses.
