Millwall take on the visitors Burnleyin the postponed round 29 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Tuesday, February 21st at The Den (London).
Millwall are eager to get into the top six and perhaps three points ahead of Sheffield will be an additional incentive. The positions of the Lions have been good lately - they have won three matches in the last five rounds. Rowett's team has suffered only two defeats at home, and the last one was in September. One of the downsides is the mediocre defense. Even in the matches won, the hosts conceded at least one goal. Millwall rarely keeps a clean sheet, which could be a big problem in the match against the leader. A draw would be excellent, but Lancashire easily beat the Lions 2-0 in the reverse fixture.

Burnley are so good that they can start packing their bags for the Premier League. Bookmakers are still waiting for the slip-up of Vincent Kompany's men. It seems that the only downside is the number of goals scored - only one in the last two rounds. But this is not the full conversion of their own chances. The visitors have not lost since the 20th round and are head and shoulders above any other club, not letting up the pace, unlike Sheffield, who lost two matches in a row. Clarets are 15 points ahead of the third position. And even though Burnley performs slightly worse in terms of points on the road, it is unlikely to be an additional advantage for Millwall.
The fight for the playoffs is so tough that a defeat will most likely drop the Londoners to the ninth position. Unfortunately for the hosting side, Sheffield and Burnley are teams of different caliber at the moment. It will not be possible to score more than one goal here. I see no reason why Kompany's team would lose to Rowett's inexperienced team. Even if a zero handicap bet on the Clarets are offered at 1.70, it should be taken advantage of. It seems that Burnley just enjoys playing their own football.
Prediction for the match: Burnley to win with 0.0 handicap.
