Millwall vs Fulham Prediction
Millwall finished 11th last season in the EFL Championship, with forward Jed Wallace in good form once again. The 27-year old will have to be at his very best if Gary Rowett's men are to have a positive campaign.
Fulham, on the other hand, will be targeting promotion. In the Premier League last season, Scott Parker's side produced some fine performances, but were extremely inconsistent. Parker is now the manager of Bournemouth, with former Watford and Everton boss Marco Silva now in charge. Aleksandar Mitrovic has been prolific in the Championship in the past, and the 26-year old will likely lead the line.
Fulham have a good manager and an excellent squad. The Cottagers have what it takes to return to the Premier League next season, and should be able to register a win here.
Prediction: Millwall 0-2 Fulham
