West Bromwich Albion v Millwall: promotion push meets survival fight | OneFootball

West Bromwich Albion host Millwall in the Championship at The Hawthorns on Friday, 10 April 2026, with the visitors chasing a play off finish and the hosts looking to pull further from the bottom three.

West Bromwich Albion arrive unbeaten in five league games, including wins over Hull City and Bristol City and draws with Southampton, Wrexham and Blackburn Rovers. Millwall won the reverse fixture 3-0 in October and have stayed in the top four.

Form on the road has been a plus for the Lions, who recently won at Middlesbrough and Preston and drew at Ipswich. The run underlines a side that has travelled well while maintaining their promotion push, even with mixed home results.

Injuries shape both camps. West Bromwich Albion are without Jed Wallace, Krystian Bielik, Karlan Ahearne-Grant, Michael Johnston and Tammer Bany. The Lions list Massimo Luongo, goalkeeper Lukas Jensen, William Smallbone, Benicio Baker-Boaitey and Daniel Kelly as absentees.

Styles may contrast. West Bromwich Albion average 51% possession with 81.09% pass accuracy, and Aune Heggebo has nine league goals. The Lions have 15 clean sheets and 56 goals, and could lean on their crossing and aerial strength — 646 open play crosses at 22.91% accuracy and 1,081 aerial duels won — with Femi Azeez creating and Mihailo Ivanović on nine goals.

West Bromwich Albion sit 20th on 45 points. A win would take them to 48 and create more daylight from the relegation places. The Lions are fourth on 72 points. Victory to reach 75 would strengthen their grip on the play off positions.
