Millwall vs. Leicester City: preview and betting tips

Millwall face possibly their biggest game of the season on Wednesday. They will welcome Leicester City at home in the Carabao Cup. Will the second-placed outsider or last season’s FA Cup winner progress?

Millwall are underachieving, winning only one of their eight EFL Championship games and are just a point off the relegation zone with eight points. In the two previous rounds of the cup they knocked out Portsmouth and Cambridge.

Leicester are certainly not happy with their season so far either. After five league games, he has six points, having lost unnecessarily to Brighton and West Ham. They are 12th in the table.

The mainstay of the home team is winger Jed Wallace, he has a hand in six Millwall goals (6+6). Central midfielder George Saville scored an important goal against Portsmouth and has already scored one in the league.

If anyone from Leicester has done well from the start of the season, it’s Ricardo Pereira, who has assisted twice in the league. We can’t forget club icon Jamie Vardy, who has been on the scoresheet for four of the Foxes’ five league goals (3+1).

Millwall’s offense is not working, scoring just two goals in the last three rounds. Leicester, on the other hand, have holes in their defence, scoring four times in the last two games and have not kept a clean sheet for five games.

Considering the width of Leicester’s squad and the experience of similar matches, I recommend betting on them to win in normal time.
