West Bromwich Albion
MillwallWest Brom need this one. Six games into November without a home win this month, James Morrison’s side have done their talking on the road and in midweek, but The Hawthorns faithful want three points on their own patch. A win here would not just tick that box. It would send a genuine signal that the Baggies belong in the conversation at the top end of the Championship. Millwall arrive as wounded opponents, sliding down the table and having lost more away games already this season than they did in the whole of last campaign. The timing could hardly be better for West Brom to press home their advantage.
Sixth in the table and just two points off second place, Morrison’s men are quietly making themselves impossible to ignore. The pre-season assumption was midtable drift. What we are actually watching is a team with real structure, real goals in them and genuine belief. Millwall, meanwhile, are a side that looked like automatic promotion dark horses in May and are now scrabbling around in thirteenth. This is a fixture that sets up beautifully for the hosts, though that unbeaten head-to-head record hanging over them is worth keeping an eye on.
This Championship fixture takes place at The Hawthorns in the Black Country, with both clubs desperate for contrasting reasons to pick up points. West Brom are pushing for a top-six finish and have genuine momentum behind them, while Millwall are looking to arrest a worrying slide that has seen them drop out of the picture at the top end of the division entirely.
Morrison faces one notable headache at the back, though he has a ready-made solution waiting in the wings. The Lions are even shorter on options at right-back and could be forced into some creative selections further forward.
West Brom look set to line up with a familiar shape, with Phillips slotting in seamlessly for the injured Campbell. Pereira holds down the right-back spot in the absence of Galves, and there is a question mark over whether Bany gets the nod to start after pushing hard in training.
West Brom: O’Leary; Pereira, Mepham, Phillips, Styles; Nzingoula, Molumby, Diakite, Price; Morgan, Heggebo
Millwall are likely to shuffle their attacking options after what they saw at Birmingham. Osei-Tutu keeps his place at right-back by necessity, and Neil may well go with Esse and Coburn from the off after that second-half impact midweek.
Millwall: Crocombe; Osei-Tutu, Taylor, Cooper, Sykes; Kelly, Mazou-Sacko; Lisbie, Cundle, Esse; Coburn
West Brom’s form since that October derby defeat against Birmingham has been genuinely impressive. Five games unbeaten, three wins and two draws, including a thumping away victory at West Ham and a share of the spoils against Southampton, who arrived at The Hawthorns as one of the division’s promotion favourites. That is not a soft run of games padded out with wins against relegation fodder. These are results against serious opponents, and they tell you something real about where this team is.
Isaac Price has been a driving force, bagging five goals this season including a penalty against Southampton in midweek. Jimmy-Jay Morgan matches him on five for the campaign too. The goals are coming from multiple areas, which is what you need if you are going to sustain a promotion push. Morrison’s side scored three at West Ham’s ground last weekend, which is not something many teams manage. There is a confidence running through them right now that feels earned rather than manufactured.
Millwall’s story is the opposite. Two wins from their last eight games, three defeats and three draws in that run, and a painful 3-0 hammering at Birmingham on Tuesday that underlined just how far they have fallen. They have been competitive in patches, sure, but their away form in particular is alarming. They were the best travelling side in the Championship last season. This term they have already equalled their entire away defeat tally from that campaign. Alex Neil will know the numbers make grim reading.
Here is where it gets interesting for West Brom. Millwall are unbeaten in their last 10 meetings between these two sides, winning seven and drawing three. That is a remarkable run against a club of West Brom’s stature, and it is the kind of stat that makes you pause before you pile your money on the Baggies. The Lions have historically found ways to frustrate West Brom even when form suggested they should not.
That said, context matters. Many of those results came when Millwall were a sharper, more organised outfit than the one currently sitting thirteenth and leaking goals on the road. The head-to-head record is a yellow flag, not a red one, but it is worth factoring in when you are building your bets.
West Brom look the value here. They are in form, scoring goals, playing at home and facing a Millwall side that is fragile away from The Den right now. The head-to-head record adds a layer of caution, but on current evidence the Baggies should be too strong. Here is how the individual markets shape up.
Millwall have a reputation for physicality and this is a fixture that tends to carry a bit of needle. With the Lions under pressure and West Brom pushing for a home win, expect a feisty affair. Over 3.5 cards looks a solid shout, with both sides likely to make their presence felt in the middle of the park.
West Brom to win 2-1 feels right here. The Baggies have the firepower and the structure to control large parts of this game, but Millwall are stubborn enough to nick one and rarely roll over without a fight. A narrow home win is the most likely outcome.
West Brom like to get forward and press high, and Millwall tend to absorb pressure and hit on the break, which often generates corners at both ends. Over 9.5 corners is worth a look given how both sides are set up and the attacking intent West Brom will bring at home.
Yes. Millwall have shown they can still find the net even during this difficult run, and West Brom have not kept a clean sheet in their recent upturn of form either. With both sides having attacking options and the home side likely to push numbers forward, backing both teams to score looks well-priced.
Isaac Price is the standout pick here. He has five Championship goals already this season and has been in excellent form, including a penalty against Southampton in midweek. He carries a real goal threat from midfield and looks confident in front of goal right now. Good value to open the scoring at The Hawthorns.

Price to score first in a West Brom win where Millwall also find the net ties together the form, the individual brilliance and the stubborn nature of this head-to-head record into one tasty combination.
West Brom 2-1 Millwall. Morrison’s side have done enough in recent weeks to suggest they are ready to impose themselves at The Hawthorns, and Millwall’s travelling form this season is exactly the kind of vulnerability that a sharp home side can exploit. The Lions will not go quietly and that stubborn head-to-head record adds a smidge of uncertainty, but the Baggies look too good right now to let this one slip.
Four points against West Ham and Southampton in the space of a few days proved this team can compete with the best in the division. Millwall are not the best in the division this season, and home advantage should tip it comfortably enough in West Brom’s favour. Three points on the board and a statement made going into the busy winter schedule.
