Leicester City vs Millwall

Millwall's pursuit of promotion takes them to the King Power Stadium to face already-relegated Leicester City in an English Championship encounter on Friday.

The Foxes have nothing but pride to play for after dropping into League One, while Millwall are looking to keep their foot on the gas and secure a top-two finish.

Leicester City News

Ten years on from winning the Premier League, Leicester City will play in England's third tier next season. A 2-2 at home to Hull City on Tuesday confirmed their relegation to League One after spending just a season in the Championship.

The Foxes have been largely disappointing this season and have managed just one win in their last 18 league matches. The result against Hull extended their winless run to seven games. Leicester have managed to score a goal in six of their last 10 outings, but two clean sheets in their last 19 tell the story of their current predicament.

Gary Rowett's men have also been poor at home, losing six of their last 10 matches at the King Power Stadium. They have conceded at least two goals in three of their last four home matches, while over 2.5 goals have been produced in six of their last 10 home fixtures.

Millwall News

Millwall currently sit second in the Championship and could return to the top-flight for the first time since the 1989-90 season. They are unbeaten in their last three games, including a 3-1 away win at Stoke City in their most recent outing.

The Lions have won seven of their last 11 league matches and are highly confident heading into this clash. They have found the net in 10 games during this run while keeping just two clean sheets in their last seven appearances.

Alex Neil's side are the best away team in the division and are unbeaten in their last eight road games, managing six wins in that stretch. Millwall have also scored at least twice in six of their last eight away games. They have provided entertaining fixtures recently, allowing over 2.5 goals in six of their last 11 fixtures.

Head to Head

Leicester City and Millwall are deadlocked across their last 10 meetings, with either side claiming five wins. The Lions, however, are on a two-game winning run in this fixture, including a 1-0 victory back in October.

Verdict

Leicester v Millwall

Millwall have the best away record in the league and are unbeaten in their last eight road games. Another away win for the visitors is likely here.

With Leicester as hosts, four of their last five meetings have produced over 2.5 goals, and a repeat is expected here. Millwall have scored at least twice in six of their last eight away games. Given Leicester's defensive woes, the visitors should continue that trend.
