Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Fans may not be thrilled to read this, but we don't predict a goal-fest here. The stats suggest Millwall and Cardiff both struggle to score on a consistent basis, and the odds are leaning towards there being fewer than 2 goals in total as they go head-to-head. We think that's a great shout and, without an obvious outright winners to back, under 2.5 goals feels like the right bet on this match.

Goal Statistics

Cardiff City's defensive record is very strong, Metin Diyadin's men having conceded 1 or less in 5 consecutive Championship matches. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.1 for Millwall makes sense in this context.
