The big game in England on Monday comes in the second-tier as Millwall seek to relaunch their Championship promotion push with the visit of an inconsistent Watford side at The Den.
Millwall have been left frustrated with a couple of defeats at home to this season, against both Middlesbrough and Wrexham, despite having collected seven points from three matches away from home.
Watford, with former Real Valladolid boss Paulo Pezzolano at the helm, have put in some reasonable performances and yet the Hornets have managed just one victory in their opening five games.
The Sporting News brings you all of the latest tips and odds for this intriguing Championship clash at The Den on Monday.
Millwall vs. Watford prediction
Millwall would usually be firm favourites for a clash against fairly underwhelming opposition at home but they have been susceptible at the back and Watford do have some talent in the final third. Millwall should still come out on top but it may not be straightforward for the Lions.
