Team News

Hull boss Tim Walter has no fresh injury concerns heading into the weekend, and is unlikely to make too many changes from the side that has started the term unbeaten, despite only picking up two draws.

After conceding four goals in last week's defeat to Bristol City, Neil Harris could opt to make changes to his back line. Full-back Danny McNamara was introduced in place of winger Romain Esse, but he and Wes Harding could be considered in place of Ryan Leonard on Humberside.

Tom Bradshaw scored from the penalty spot but there is still a chance he could leave the Lions before the end of the transfer window, which could allow Macaulay Langstaff a start this weekend.

Millwall also completed the signing of Reading star Femi Azeez in the week, so he is likely to make his debut in this match, but whether he starts remains to be seen.

Draw @ 21/10

This is not going to be what Hull fans will want to read but I do think they could be in for a third consecutive draw here. They have looked okay defensively with just two goals conceded so far, but they have not looked brilliant going forward with just two scored.

Millwall have lost their first two matches and have conceded seven goals, but they have also scored five. They need to work on their defensive side but offensively they are making things happen. They will be desperate to get their first points on the board this weekend and lucky for them, it seems if you play Hull right now, you're most likely to come away with a point.

It's also worth noting that the Tigers have drawn nine of their last 15 matches in the Championship.

Over 2.5 goals @ 1/1

Millwall have seen plenty of goals in their first two matches, which is why I think over 2.5 goals might be worth backing in this match. It would offer something different to Hull fans at least, who have seen two 1-1 draws so far.

As I mentioned above, the Lions are having no trouble finding the back of the net, but the volume of which they are conceding them is a problem. A leaky defence always makes a market like this enticing, and that is what has drawn me in on this occasion.

More importantly, you have two teams looking for their first win, so that will likely have a huge impact on the goal front. Over 2.5 goals is yet to land in a league match featuring Hull, but it has been a winning selection in Millwall's two outings, which is what gives me confidence.
