Prediction
Millwall have shown this season that consistency pays and many Championship fans would say the Lions deserve their current spot in third.
Alex Neil’s side have won five of their last seven matches which has taken them to within five points of the automatic promotion spots.
Millwall will hope to go under the radar and keep picking up points to seal a place in the play-offs come May and a home game against Portsmouth presents a great opportunity to put another win on the board.
Though Pompey claimed an impressive 3-1 victory against Charlton at The Valley in the week, Millwall should prove too strong here, particularly when you look at the away side’s lengthy injury list.
Backing the game to feature over 1.5 goals could be a clever move as Millwall’s last seven games have seen two or more goals scored.
