Today's Football Fixtures

Derby vs Millwall Odds

Derby County are 6/4 to make home advantage count and claim the three points, while Millwall are 2/1 to head back to the capital with the spoils.

A draw at Pride Park is 2/1, while over 2.5 total goals in this one is available at 6/4.

Millwall to win @ 2/1

Beating Sheffield Wednesday, Southampton and Bristol City, Alex Neil’s Millwall have climbed up to third place in the Championship standings.

The Lions have been in the play-off picture in the past, but they are hoping this can be the year they finally make it to the Premier League.

Millwall’s away form has not been the best but a 1-0 win on their last road trip to Bristol will certainly boost confidence in the Lions’ ranks.

Taking on a Derby side who have lost their last two home games against Watford and Leicester City, Millwall look like great value to claim all three points at Pride Park this week.

Femi Azeez anytime goalscorer@ 16/5

Leading the way in the goalscoring standings for Millwall in the league this season with six, Femi Azeez is a player to look out for in the anytime goalscorer market.

Last scoring the opening goal for the Lions in their impressive 3-2 victory at home to Southampton on November 29th, Azeez will be looking to add to his goal collection on Wednesday night.

Dangerous off either foot, the 24-year-old is likely to cause this Derby defence problems, especially with only four other teams having conceded more goals than the Rams in the Championship this term.
