Championship
The two sides have faced each other nine times since 2021 with all fixtures coming in the Championship. Millwall had the slight edge during this period, registering four wins and two draws, while Watford won just twice. The average number of goals scored per game during this period was 2.4.
Millwall team overview
Millwall have been in the Championship since the 2017–18 season and achieved their joint-best finish (8th place) during that period last season.
The Lions have not been able to build on that form this season and currently sit in 13th place after five games. Alex Neil’s side have won only two of their five league games so far this season, and even worse, they have lost both of their home league games without scoring.
Danny McNamara has not featured yet this season due to a knee problem, and Monday’s game comes too soon for him. The hosts' injury list also includes Lukas Jensen (ruptured Achilles tendon) and Will Smallbone (calf injury).

Watford team overview
Meanwhile, Watford have now failed to secure promotion to the Premier League in each of the last three seasons, and that run looks set to continue. The Hornets began their campaign with a 1-0 defeat to Charlton but then picked up a 2-1 victory over QPR on matchday two.
Paulo Pezzolano’s team have since disappointed their fans, losing one and drawing two of their last three matches. Despite this poor run of form, Watford fans will be motivated by the fact that their team won their last visit to The Den.
In terms of injuries, Giorgi Chakvetadze is ruled out until October due to a finger injury, and the visitors have at least three other players lacking fitness. These include Caleb Wiley (adductor), Pierre Dwomoh (thigh) and Jeremy Ngakia (groin).

Prediction
Millwall have lost both of their home league games so far this season but they are capable of beating any side, and I think they will overpower struggling Watford on Monday. In addition to boasting two wins in the league so far this season, the hosts won their first two League Cup rounds and only exited the third on penalties after drawing 1-1 with Premier League side Crystal Palace. With Watford having lost six of their last seven away games, I am going for a 1-0 home win.
Three reasons we expect Millwall to win this game
- Millwall won two of their last three meetings with Watford.
- Watford lost six of their last seven away games in the Championship.
- Millwall won seven of their last nine league home matches.
