One team pushing for the Championship title, and another going for the play-offs; there’s plenty to play for in the final game of the season, but this Burnley vs Millwall score prediction can only see one winner.

Burnley’s unrelenting march towards promotion came to a head a couple of weeks ago when they defeated Sheffield United at Turf Moor.

Now, the Clarets have their sights set on the Championship title, but it will take a favourable swing of results on the final day to bring the trophy to Scott Parker’s side.

Defeating Millwall would be a start, but the Lions themselves have big goals in sight, with the play-offs still very much on the cards for Alex Neil’s side.

So, which side will end up the happiest on Saturday? If this Burnley vs Millwall score prediction comes true, there’ll be disappointment for one team, that’s for sure.

Burnley vs Millwall score prediction dashes all hope for the Lions

Discussing the upcoming fixtures on the Championship Check-In podcast, hosts Benjamin Bloom and Sam Parkin both agreed that a home win is the only outcome they can imagine happening.

Bloom said: “Apologies, Millwall fans, I don’t think you get the unrealistic away win at title contenders Burnley. Burnley have been hyper-consistent all season, so why would I change it now?

“They’re so close to some amazing records. I’m going to go for the clean sheet and victory, I’ll go for Burnley 1-0 Millwall.”

Parkin did have some doubts, but ultimately sided with Bloom’s Burnley vs Millwall score prediction, adding: “Well Millwall won at Sheffield United and they were brilliant that night. But they weren’t good at Leeds last time out.

“I’ll go somewhere in the middle, a decent enough performance, but I’ll go for Burnley to win by three goals to one.”

Interestingly, Millwall were the last team to beat Burnley, all the way back at the start of November. Scott Parker learned a lesson that day, and it would be a real surprise if Millwall were able to get the better of him and his Burnley team again.

Do Millwall really deserve a play-off spot?

The Burnley vs Millwall score prediction is an obvious one, really. Burnley are relentless, while Millwall have been inconsistent all season, to say the least.

Indeed, the fact they even have a chance of sneaking into the Championship play-offs on the final day is more down to the problems the teams above them have had in securing their own spots.

If Millwall were to grab sixth place now, it would be a shock. But, they say the table never lies, and yet we can’t help but feel there are certainly six better teams than Millwall this season.

Still, stranger things have happened. The Championship is unpredictable at every turn, and that’s what makes it so fascinating to watch.
