 Millwall - Burnley   Prediction, Picks and Taips  


 
 

The time has come in the English League Cup: After most of the top clubs from the English House of Lords paused in the previous rounds, all the remaining - and remaining - teams of the Premier League will now join the round of 32. For Burnley FC it will be the second cup game in the EFL Cup 2020/21. The Clarets are guests at Millwall's "The Den".

Although there is a class difference, the Premier League club's role as favorites is by no means clear. This is due, among other things, to the importance of the league cup. Many teams send the second guard to the EFL Cup and thus avoid the double burden of the second-tier cup competition - including championship clubs, mind you.

With Millwall versus Burnley, odds on the three-way market of the best bookmakers are therefore not really recommended. In addition, it should be borne in mind that the guests arrive with staff concerns anyway and could therefore even rely on the youth. Millwall has remained unbeaten in this competitive season and recently won two wins in a row. "The Den" should now be refilled.

 
 


 
 


Last season, the Lions from London narrowly missed the championship promotion playoffs. In the final table, Millwall separated only two points from the table sixth and thus the last play-off participant Swansea. Despite missed promotion playoffs, the Lions continue to rely on 46-year-old exercise leader Gary Rowett.

So far, Milwall has made a promising start to the new 2020/21 competitive season. The team around coach Rowett remained undefeated in the first four competitive games and recorded three wins - two of them in the last two games. Millwall took a close away win at Rotherham last weekend and was able to keep the clean slate for the second time this season.

In the EFL Cup there was a 3-1 away win at Crawley at the cup debut. Millwall also prevailed in the following round of the cup with three goals (3-1 against Cheltenham). If it goes after the first two rounds of the cup, goals can also be expected on Wednesday evening.
 
The Cup game against Burnley FC will be Millwall's third competitive game in eight days. Accordingly, rotation is inevitable for coach Rowett, even if mostly regular staff will probably be on the field. Players like Smith, Wallace and Williams were only used in the last quarter of an hour last weekend.



 
 
 
 

 
The cup game during the week is not really convenient for the Clarets. After all, the last competitive game in the Premier League was played last Sunday. To avoid the physical strain, Burnley coach Sean Dyche is expected to send the second guard against Millwall on the field.

Burnley FC lost 4-2 to Leicester City in the Premier League last matchday. In the meantime, the Clarets took the lead, but could not keep the Foxes offensive in check. While Leicester completed the second PL game, it was only the season opener for Burnley in the English House of Lords.

The Clarets paused on the first day of the Premier League and were thus beneficiaries of the longer preparation for the season. The first competitive game of the new season was played in the EFL Cup 2020/21, where Burnley eliminated PL opponents Sheffield United on penalties. Dyche even relied primarily on top performers.
 
If you take a look at the Clarets squad, there is definitely potential in the squad width. How the supposed B-team of Dyche will do in the EFL Cup is not yet in sight. If it goes after the recent defensive performance against Leicester City, it would not be absurd if Burnley also received one or the other goal on Wednesday evening.

In goal and defense, we can expect some changes at the EFL Cup. Replacement keeper Peacock-Farrell is expected to be in the box. In addition, with Dunne and Thomas, two youth players are in the squad for the league cup.
