Millwall vs Leicester City Match Analysis & Prediction
09/04/2024 9:45 pm
Looking to move a step closer to the Premier League, Leicester City will make the trip to the capital to face relegation-threatened Millwall at The Den in a Championship match on Tuesday night.
The Lions are in danger of dropping into the bottom three following consecutive defeats to fellow strugglers, while the Foxes are lookiing to secure the league title within the next month.,
Following 10 points from his first four matches back in charge of Millwall after replacing Joe Edwards in late February, Neil Harris has now witnessed his side collect just a single point in the most recent quartet of games, leaving them in grace danger of dropping down to League One.
If the defeat to bottom side Rotherham United was unacceptable, then Saturday’s loss at Huddersfield Town was more on the heartbreaking end of the scale, with Terriers striker Rhys Healy scoring a 94th-minute winner for the hosts after coming off the bench in closing stages.
A glaring issue for the Lions this season has been their inability to consistently score in the Championship – Millwall have neeted just 38 goals in 41 matches, with only League One-bound Rotherham (32) and 23rd-placed Sheffield Wednesday (33) scoring on fewer occasions.
Having failed to win four straight home matches prior to the sacking of Edwards i February, Harris has made The Den a relative fortress for Millwall once again, with the Lions securing seven points in three home games since the 46-year-old’s arrival, only being held by promotion-chasing West Bromwich Albion.
Meanwhile, for the first time since the middle of February, Leicester have now recorded back-to-back victories in the Championship to give their automatic-promotion ambitions a major boost, beating relegation candidates Birmingham at the King Power Stadium, although it was not straightforward for the Foxes.
Saturday represented the first time this season that both Leeds United and Ipswich Town lost while Leicester earned maximum points, with the Foxes sitting pretty at the top of the Championship standings, two points ahead of Daniel Farke’s side in third despite playing a game fewer.

Leicester City Team News
After struggling to deal with the runs of Birmingham’s Koji Miyoshi at the weekend, youngster Callum Doyle was subbed at halftime, and it is expected that James Justin will go from the off at left-back here.
There could be a change at the focal point of Leicester’s attack, with veteran Jamie Vardy surely relishing a midweek game at The Den, possibly replacing Patson Daka in the side.
