Bitesize Prediction: Millwall vs Portsmouth – 21/02/26

Competition: Championship

Market: Millwall win

Odds: 11/10 @ BetUS

Knowing that they can remarkably move within touching distance of the automatic promotion spots on Saturday afternoon, Millwall will welcome Portsmouth the south London.

Starting with the hosts, while Millwall might have narrowly missed out on a play-off ticket last season, Alex Neil’s men have come roaring back in a sensational fashion this time around. Shattering a string of records, the Lions are in the midst of what has become quite the purple patch and they can remarkably move within touching distance of the automatic promotion spots this weekend. Last seen securing a 2-1 victory away at Sheffield Wednesday, the former Norwich boss finds the mood in his camp at a red-hot high. Opening Saturday’s showdown sat in bronze medal position, Millwall have registered 10 points from their previous four Championship showdowns. Getting February underway with a heavyweight scalp as they secured an eye-catching 2-0 win against Wrexham, Saturday’s hosts are riding a major wave of momentum. Pencilled in as a standout contender this weekend and looking to make another promotion statement, the Lions have also suffered just a sole Championship defeat since back on December 20th.

As for the visitors, claiming an essential boost earlier in the week as they secured a 3-1 victory against Charlton, Portsmouth will be desperate to use that clinical performance as a platform to build on going forward. However, despite returning to the English capital this weekend holding a four-point buffer over slipping into the relegation zone, John Mousinho’s men are regarded as a major underdog in south London and they should be worried by their recent at The Den. Hit with a 2-1 loss when they last travelled to the promotion contenders back in April 2025, they have lost all of their previous three trips to the Lions by an aggregate score of 5-2. It should also be highlighted, despite landing that 3-1 win away at Charlton on Tuesday night, Pompey have recorded just a pair of Championship victories away from Fratton Park so far this season. Two sides who are still scrapping it out at opposite ends of the table, we are backing a home victory on Saturday afternoon.
