Millwall host Bournemouth at the Den (London) in the 43rd round of the Championship and the match kicks off at 6 pm (UK) on Wednesday, April 21. Read our reasons for Millwall vs Bournemouth prediction and betting tips.
A league-high 17th draw of the season last round at Brentford marked two winless games without a goal for the Lions, and all but mathematically ended Millwall’s faint play-off aspirations. Nonetheless, they’re still aiming to secure a top-eight place for the third-straight season, as boss Gary Rowett searches for his first-ever managerial victory over this opposition. Meanwhile, the Cherries have a seven-point cushion inside the play-offs thanks to a six-match winning Championship streak and a 3-1 win at table-toppers Norwich. They can confirm a play-off place by claiming a seventh straight league victory for the first time since April 2013, combined with a Reading defeat versus Luton.
Gary Rowett saw his side’s play-off hopes dwindle to an all but mathematical end after their draw at Brentford last weekend – their 17th draw this season which is a league-high. Interestingly, Rowett hasn’t beaten Bournemouth as a manager in four attempts (D1, L3), with Millwall having not beaten a top-six side all season (D7, L3). Moreover, the Lions have totaled three fewer points at The Den than they have on the road this season, with eight of their last ten home fixtures seeing just the one goal, or ending as a goalless draw.
On the other hand, despite their play-off hopes appearing to be over the Lions manager will not accept his side switching off for the remainder of the season. Overall the Lions boss can be fairly happy with their campaign to date but has also admitted there is frustration that Millwall didn’t take their opportunity. Gary Rowett’s side are well-organized and hard to beat with only Swansea out of the top six taking maximum points out of their encounters so far this season.
As for Bournemouth, Jonathan Woodgate’s side sit in 5th-place in the Championship table after their weekend win against newly-promoted Norwich. The Cherries can confirm their play-off spot with a win over Millwall, depending on other results as well, and they go to The Den on the back of five unbeaten away trips (W5, D1). Six of Bournemouth’s last eight away games have featured over 2.5 goals, with both teams scoring in five of those eight – games at The Den this season have averaged 1.8 goals per game though.
Meanwhile, initially brought in as a first-team coach under Tindall to replace Graeme Jones, who had departed to join Newcastle, Woodgate signed a deal until the end of the season to lead the team. The 41-year-old only has four regulation league games left on his current contract at Vitality Stadium, but Woodgate insists his main focus at present is steering the Dorset club to a top-six finish in the Championship. Now, with this majestic run of form at just the right time of the season, their Championship play-off hopes are in their own hands.

Millwall host Bournemouth for the first time since January 2017, winning 3-0 in an FA Cup tie under Neil Harris. Bournemouth’s last league match at Millwall was in December 2014, winning 2-0 in the Championship. Having lost 0-3 to Swansea in their last home league game, Millwall are looking to avoid suffering back-to-back home league defeats for the first time since March 2019, while the Cherries last enjoyed a longer winning streak in April 2013 in League One (8).
With six of their eight away league victories this term producing over 2.5 match goals, including five with both teams scoring, goals could be forthcoming despite Millwall’s tendency for low-scoring games here (1.81 per game on average).
