PAYBACK is on the agenda at The Den on Wednesday night, four days after Millwall were taken apart 5-1 at St Mary’s. Alex Neil’s side host a Wrexham team still searching for a first win of the Championship season, and for a first clean sheet in any competition.

Millwall had won four in a row in all competitions before Southampton overwhelmed them on the south coast. Mark Sykes drilled in his first goal for the club after 15 minutes, only for Cyle Larin to head an equaliser ten minutes later, Finn Azaz to tap in a third, Leo Scienza to convert a penalty, Larin to volley a fourth and Tom Fellows to finish the job. 

Neil made just one change from the side that beat Norwich City 3-0, with Max Crocombe replacing the injured Lukas Jensen in goal. Six points from three games still has the Lions in the top six.

Wrexham are yet to win in four attempts this season. Phil Parkinson‘s side drew 1-1 with both Cardiff City and Watford before Phil Neumann headed twice to give Birmingham City a 2-1 win at the Racecourse Ground on Friday, Callum Doyle‘s equaliser buying only nine minutes of parity. They also went out of the EFL Cup at the first attempt, beaten 1-0 by Middlesbrough.

That leaves them with two points from a possible nine, and the problem is not a new one: only five clubs conceded more than the 65 goals Wrexham shipped in the league last season.

With Neil demanding an immediate response and Parkinson under real pressure to end the wait, new punters can get involved by claiming a huge 300% welcome offer using our bet365 bonus code. Now, let’s check out all the key details before the opening whistle.

The betting angle: Can Wrexham’s back three survive a night of crosses in Bermondsey?

Millwall will go straight back to what worked before Saturday. Neil’s side are direct and physical at home, with Josh Coburn holding the ball up as the reference point and Taïryk Arconte and Kyrell Lisbie attacking from wider starting positions, and the quality of the service into the box usually decides whether they win. The Den was a hard place to visit last season: Millwall kept 11 clean sheets in 23 home league games and conceded 49 goals across the campaign, a total only three clubs in the division bettered.

Parkinson sets up in a 3-4-2-1 with Kieffer Moore alone up front and Ben Whiteman and Lewis O’Brien asked to control the tempo, but the back three keeps conceding the same goal. Both of Neumann’s finishes on Friday were headers, one from a corner and one from a cross into the six-yard box, and Wrexham have not kept a clean sheet in any of their four matches this season. 

George Thomason is out for around ten weeks with a thigh injury picked up against Watford, Liberato Cacace is still short of full fitness, and Issa Kaboré is one of two full-backs signed inside the last week to patch the gap.

All of which points at Millwall’s aerial threat against a defence beaten in the air twice inside a week. The counterweight is the scoreline at St Mary’s, which is why the goals line matters more than the winning margin: The Den produced an average of 2.52 goals per game last season, with 11 of the 23 home league fixtures finishing under 2.5. Wrexham have scored in each of their three league games, so a shut-out is not the play, but a controlled home win is.

Expect a scrappy, set-piece-heavy night in which Millwall’s physicality tells and Wrexham’s inability to defend crosses costs them again, without the game ever getting away from either side.
