Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We think there's minimal chance that this match will serve up 4+ goals, and the odds and statistics align with KickOff's predictive algorithm on this one. Watford and Millwall have rarely been involved in goal-fests of late, whether that be in the Championship individually or in head-to-head clashes. So, in the absence of a strong favourite win or double chance market, we're suggesting under 3.5 goals. The UK's top bookies have that available at a best price of 1.30.
