Stoke City vs Millwall top free betting tips
Based on current form, Stoke City and Millwall are two of the worst teams in the Championship so this match, on paper, will not be an exciting one for the neutral to see. Stoke have lost four and drawn four of their previous eight matches while Millwall has lost four of their previous six, drawing the other two. Stoke have recently sacked Alex Neil and have recently gone to Plymouth Argyle and poached their manager Steven Schumacher.
Both teams to score prediction: No
Both teams have so far this season played a negative style to keep things as tight as possible defensively which shows with Stoke conceding just one goal per match in their previous three games while scoring twice in reply. Millwall on the other hand have been involved in more goals recently but that is solely down to a 3-2 defeat against Leicester City. If you remove that match then the two before and one previous perfectly lines up with Stoke's three matches.
Total goals prediction: Under 1.5 Goals
The previous two head-to-heads have seen 1.5 or fewer goals scored with the two matches before that seeing just two goals. It is safe to say, that there are never usually goals in this fixture and we can not see that changing in this match. Both teams are desperate for a point but will be scared to come out and lose this match, we predict a closely fought match at the bet365 Stadium.
Correct score prediction: 1-0 to Stoke City
Regardless of recent form, Stoke on paper are an excellent side and with the sacking of Alex Neil and the appointment of Steven Schumacher from Plymouth Argyle, maybe their best players can start performing at the level everyone expected when they signed for the Potters. Stoke are the favourites for this match, especially having a home advantage.
Stoke City vs Millwall: What the fans think
A Stoke City fan sets out what he wants from the new manager
Here's what I want from the new manager:
1) play with aggression whether we defend or attack
2) promote our young talent
3) play with pace
4) worry about the opposition less
That shouldn't be an unattainable wishlist. These are not “unrealistic expectations”. #SCFC— Andy Thorley (@AndyMaxVolume) December 19, 2023
This Millwall fan is asking for their manager to be given more time
He deserves time….but you also need to get some wins, if there aren't positive results in the next two he's gonna feel serious pressure
