Hull Vs Millwall Preview
Having limped towards the top-six, confirming their spot with a 2-1 win over Norwich on the final day, Hull will be aiming to secure Premier League promotion for the first time since 2015/16. The Tigers know that the real work starts now after their less-than-impressive run-in.
Although the Hull vs Millwall odds favour the visitors, supporters will be quietly optimistic going into Friday’s crunch clash. The Yorkshiremen are unbeaten in the last four on home soil and under the guidance of Sergej Jakirovic, remain tough opponents to navigate.
As for the Lions, they will need to get over the disappointment of missing out on second-spot on MD46. Alex Neil’s side won at the MKM as recently as March and know they have what it takes to beat Hull on their own patch.
It promises to be an intriguing tie for the neutral and Millwall will be aiming to secure a Premier League berth for the first-time in their history. The last time the south Londoners played top-flight football was in the 1989/90 season. And having lost just two of their last 13 in the league, they are primed to lead an assault back into the promised land.
Hull Vs Millwall H2H Record
Back in March, goals from Jake Cooper, Mihailo Ivanovic and Josh Coburn helped Millwall to a 3-1 win at the MKM. However, Hull boast the better overall H2H record and had gone seven unbeaten in this fixture prior to that loss.
Which is something to bear in mind when it comes to Championship betting on BetVictor’s Hull vs Millwall betting markets. The game at the Den – ironically – ended 3-1 to the Tigers which shows just how open yet unpredictable Friday’s clash promises to be.
Hull vs Millwall H2H record:
- Hull wins – 29
- Draws – 22
- Millwall wins – 25
Hull Vs Millwall Team News
On the injury front, Cody Drameh, Amir Hadziahmetovic and Eliot Matazo will all be absent for Hull. The Tigers will be hopeful that John Egan returns to the starting XI having being withdrawn against Norwich on MD46.
Meanwhile, Millwall will be sweating on the fitness of Josh Coburn. If he doesn’t recover in-time, Mihailo Ivanovic will lead the line. Billy Mitchell is also likely to feature having being given a 30-minute run-out against Oxford on the final day.

Hull Vs Millwall Prediction
Owing to Hull’s poor end-of-season form and the fact Millwall picked up the most away points in the entire division, we are going to lean on a victory for Alex Neil’s side. The Lions lost just twice in their last 13 outings, too. Their last defeat on the road came back in January, (W6, D3).
