- Venue: Home Park (Plymouth)
In-form Millwall will look to tighten their grip on a playoff push as they take on struggling Plymouth at Home Park on Wednesday evening.
With 30 gameweeks in the books, Plymouth have achieved the lowest points tally of all the 24-teams in the division, which has naturally pushed them to the foot of the league table, but despite their struggles, their second-tier status is not under serious threat just yet. In fact, Miron Muslic’s men have shown signs of life in their survival battle with gritty performances in their most recent pair of league outings, first snatching a point in a 2-2 draw at Sunderland before edging out WBA 2-1 over the weekend, cutting the gap to the safety zone to four points.
Since gaining promotion to the Championship in 2017-18, Millwall have fallen short of securing top-six finishes on several occasions, but their desire to reach the playoffs hasn’t faded, as they are just five points behind Blackburn in sixth place, with a game in hand. The impressive recent surge in form has helped the Lions reignite their playoff dreams, as they are currently the only ones in the Championship to have taken masimum points from the last three second-tier tests, taking down Luton, Portsmouth, and QPR along the way.
Plymouth Argyle vs Millwall Betting Tips : 1X (DOUBLE CHANCE)
In all the competitions they’ve faced off in over the last six meetings, Millwall have come out as winners each time against the Pilgrims, including a tight 1-0 win in the reverse fixture earlier this season, but this time, we hope that streak will be broken. Although Plymouth are stuck at the bottom of the table, their impressive four-point haul against promotion chasers Sunderland and WBA, along with their unforgettable Saturday knockout of Premier League leaders Liverpool in the FA Cup, have raised the atmosphere at Home Park to fever pitch as they now look to extend their dazzling run. Overcoming Millwall will certainly be no walk in the park, as Alex Neil’s squad comes in with a strong four-game winning streak in all competitions, but Plymouth, proud of being one of the rare sides to have beaten Liverpool this season, are ready to deliver another gritty performance and earn a favorable result.

In contrast, Millwall will have to contend with a significantly longer absentee list, as Calum Scanlon, Tristan Crama, Danny McNamara, and Ryan Leonard are all ruled out for Wednesday’s Championship clash.
The attacking duo of Aidomo Emakhu and Joshua Coburn remain long-term absentees, while Femi Azeez marked his return from a five-game injury layoff in style, netting a brace in his team’s 2-0 win over Leeds.
