Headline24jam.com – Sky Sports pundit David Prutton predicts that Millwall will secure their first home victory of the season when they face Watford at The Den on Monday night. Millwall has thus far accrued all seven of their points away from home, suffering two defeats in league matches at home against Wrexham and Middlesbrough.
Millwall’s Home Struggles
In their first home games, Millwall lost 0-2 and 0-3, raising concerns among fans. However, there is optimism as they aim to change their fortunes against Watford, who have displayed inconsistency under manager Paulo Pezzolano. Watford’s last match saw them lose 1-0 at home to Blackburn Rovers, leaving them also searching for form.
Pundit’s Insight
Speaking on the Essential EFL Podcast, Prutton highlighted that Millwall showed signs of improvement in their last game, a 1-1 draw against Charlton Athletic. He considers the Hornets to be the ideal opponents for Millwall to not only find their first home points but also to score their first goals at The Den this season. Prutton stated, “I just think, given what I’ve seen of Millwall… Watford are the perfect opponents.”
Confidence Boost for Millwall
Despite their slow start, Millwall’s recent performance in the EFL Cup against Crystal Palace may provide them with momentum. Although they lost on penalties, the effort showcased their potential. The club has historical advantages, having beaten Watford in only two of their last nine encounters.
Tight Contest Expected
With Watford potentially recovering from their disappointing form, Millwall will aim to dominate the match. According to Prutton’s prediction, he sees a possible scoreline of 2-1 in favor of the hosts. As both teams look for crucial points, the match promises to be a competitive affair at The Den.
