Leicester City FC – Millwall FC prediction & tips 24.04.2026
Leicester City face Millwall FC at the King Power Stadium on Friday, 24th April 2026, at 20:00 in what promises to be a crucial Championship encounter on matchday 45. The Foxes currently occupy 23rd position with 41 points from 43 matches, while the Lions sit comfortably in 3rd place with 76 points, making this a clash between two teams with vastly different objectives for the remainder of the season.
Our betting prediction
Our betting tip for this Championship fixture is a draw at odds of 3.35 with 1win. Despite the significant gap in league positions, Leicester City’s home advantage and Millwall’s tendency to share points on the road make this an attractive proposition. The Lions have drawn seven of their 21 away fixtures this season, whilst Leicester have managed five draws from their 21 home encounters.
Our tips
Leicester City have drawn 3 of their last 5 matches.
Millwall FC have drawn 2 of their last 5 matches.
For our secondary prediction, we recommend backing under 2.5 goals at competitive odds. Leicester have averaged 1.26 goals per game at home this season while conceding 1.52, and Millwall’s away record shows they score an average of 1.38 goals per game whilst conceding 1.14. The combined average suggests a low-scoring affair, making the under 2.5 goals market particularly appealing.
Leicester City Form Check
Leicester City find themselves in an unprecedented position, languishing in 23rd place in the Championship table with genuine concerns about their immediate future in England’s second tier. The Foxes have endured a torrid campaign, managing just 11 victories from 43 matches whilst suffering 18 defeats and 14 draws. Their recent form has been particularly concerning, with the team failing to secure a single victory in their last five Championship fixtures.
The latest setback came in the form of a disappointing 1-0 defeat away to Portsmouth FC, a result that epitomises their struggles throughout the season. At home, Leicester have won seven matches, drawn five, and lost nine from their 21 fixtures at the King Power Stadium, a record that falls well short of expectations for a club of their stature and resources.
Manager Andy King faces an enormous challenge in rallying his troops for the final stretch of the season. The former Leicester midfielder has inherited a squad that appears to lack confidence and cohesion, with their goal difference of 54:65 highlighting both defensive frailties and an inability to convert chances consistently. King’s tactical approach has emphasised defensive solidity, but the team’s recent performances suggest they are struggling to implement his methods effectively.
The pressure on King and his players continues to mount with each passing fixture, as relegation to League One becomes an increasingly realistic prospect. Leicester have managed just three draws and two defeats in their last five outings, a run of form that has left supporters questioning the club’s direction and decision-making both on and off the pitch.
Millwall FC’s Championship Campaign
Millwall FC have enjoyed a remarkable season under the guidance of manager Alex Neil, establishing themselves as genuine contenders for automatic promotion to the Premier League. The Lions currently occupy third position in the Championship table with 76 points from 43 matches, having secured 22 victories, 10 draws, and 11 defeats throughout their impressive campaign.
Neil’s tactical acumen has been evident in Millwall’s balanced approach, with the team scoring 58 goals whilst conceding just 47, resulting in a healthy goal difference of +11. Their recent form demonstrates the consistency that has characterised their season, with two wins, two draws, and one defeat in their last five Championship fixtures. The Lions’ most recent outing saw them secure a convincing 2-0 home victory over Queens Park Rangers, a result that maintained their momentum heading into the crucial final stages of the season.
Away from home, Millwall have been particularly impressive, recording 10 victories, seven draws, and just four defeats from their 21 travels. This excellent away record of 37 points from a possible 63 highlights the team’s adaptability and mental strength when playing in hostile environments. Neil has instilled a disciplined defensive structure whilst maintaining attacking threat, a combination that has served them well throughout the campaign.
The Scottish manager’s experience and tactical flexibility have been instrumental in Millwall’s success this season. Neil has demonstrated his ability to adapt his team’s approach based on opposition strengths and weaknesses, whilst maintaining the core principles that have made the Lions such a formidable force in the Championship. With automatic promotion still within reach, Millwall will be determined to maintain their high standards in the remaining fixtures.
Last Direct Encounters
The most recent meeting between these two sides resulted in a 1-0 home victory for Millwall FC, demonstrating the Lions’ ability to edge tight contests against Leicester. However, the broader head-to-head record from their last five encounters across all competitions reveals a more balanced picture, with Leicester securing three victories compared to Millwall’s two wins, and no draws recorded between the teams.
This historical context suggests that matches between Leicester and Millwall tend to be closely contested affairs, with fine margins often determining the outcome. The absence of draws in their recent meetings indicates that both teams typically commit to attacking play when facing each other, though the current circumstances surrounding Leicester’s relegation battle may alter their typical approach.
