Birmingham City FC - Millwall FC betting tip & best odds | 03.11.2026
Birmingham City host Millwall FC at St Andrew’s Ground on Tuesday, 3 November 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 21:00 in Championship matchday 14.

The visitors arrive after a convincing win of their own, setting up an intriguing contest between two teams who have both scored freely in recent matches.
Our betting tips for Birmingham City vs Millwall
The home side’s unbeaten record at St Andrew’s and stronger recent run make Birmingham the preferred selection, though Millwall’s latest result suggests they should not be underestimated. Both teams have scored 23 league goals, so there is also a reasonable case for goals at both ends. Here are our two betting tips today:
- Home win – Birmingham City (Tip 1) at 1.98
Birmingham have collected two wins and four draws from their six home league matches, avoiding defeat in each. Their overall form is also encouraging, with four victories in the last five across all competitions. Millwall have won twice on the road but have lost three of six away games, making the hosts the more dependable side in this 1/X/2 market. This is our main sports betting tip. - Both teams to score – Yes at 1.70
Each team has scored 23 goals in the Championship so far, and both arrive off high-scoring wins: Birmingham beat Lincoln City 3-1 away, while Millwall defeated Derby County 4-1 at home. Those results point to attacking confidence, although they do not guarantee another open match. With both sides showing the ability to find the net, “Yes” is our second selection among today’s football bets.

Birmingham City performance check
Birmingham have made a solid start to the Championship campaign and go into matchday 14 in sixth place with 23 points. Their record stands at six wins, five draws and two defeats, with 23 goals scored and 13 conceded. That goal difference reflects a side that has combined productive attacking play with a relatively reliable defence.
The home record is particularly relevant here. Birmingham have won two and drawn four of their six league matches at St Andrew’s, with no defeats. Although four draws show that turning home performances into victories has not always been straightforward, the team have consistently avoided losing in front of their supporters. A recent 3-1 away win over Lincoln City adds to the positive picture, and Birmingham have won four of their last five matches in all competitions, losing only once.
Chris Davies will want his side to carry that momentum into this fixture while making the most of home advantage. Millwall’s attacking threat means Birmingham cannot assume that their defensive record will be enough on its own; controlling the middle of the pitch and taking chances when they arise could be decisive.
Millwall’s form heading into the trip
Millwall are 12th with 18 points after 13 league games. They have recorded five wins, three draws and five defeats, scoring 23 goals and conceding 21. Their tally in front of goal matches Birmingham’s, but the higher number conceded points to a less secure defensive record so far.
Away from home, Alex Neil’s side have taken two wins and one draw from six matches, while losing three. That is a mixed return: Millwall have shown they can pick up results on the road, but their away form has been less consistent than Birmingham’s home record. Their latest performance was emphatic, however, as they beat Derby County 4-1 at home. It was a welcome result and should give the visitors confidence, particularly in attack.
Millwall’s last five matches across all competitions have produced two wins, one draw and two defeats. That sequence is more uneven than Birmingham’s, but the recent 4-1 scoreline is a reminder that the visitors can punish opponents if given space. Neil’s challenge will be to balance that attacking intent with enough discipline to limit Birmingham’s opportunities.
The last direct duels
The most recent meeting ended in a 3-0 home win for Millwall, both in all competitions and in the Championship. That result gives the visitors a positive recent reference point, although it is only one match and does not determine how this contest will unfold at St Andrew’s.
Across the last five meetings in all competitions, the sides are level: Birmingham have won twice, Millwall have also won twice, and one match finished as a draw. The head-to-head record therefore offers little basis for calling one team dominant. Birmingham will be keen to respond to the latest defeat in this fixture, while Millwall can draw confidence from that clean-sheet victory. Current form and venue appear more informative for this preview: Birmingham’s unbeaten home run contrasts with Millwall’s three away losses.
Match conclusion and prediction
This looks like a competitive match, with both clubs coming off convincing wins and both having scored 23 league goals. Millwall’s 4-1 victory over Derby County shows the danger they can pose, while their 3-0 win in the last direct meeting is another reason for Birmingham to approach the game carefully. Still, the overall balance favours the hosts. Birmingham are higher in the table, have lost only twice in 13 league matches, and have yet to be beaten at St Andrew’s.
The home side’s four wins in their last five matches also give them the stronger recent momentum. Millwall have enough attacking quality to find a goal, but their away record and 21 goals conceded make them harder to trust for an outright victory. Our main prediction is therefore a Birmingham City home win, with both teams to score as a secondary selection. These are informed predictions, not guarantees; bet responsibly and only stake what you can afford to lose.
