Millwall vs Stoke City Prediction and Betting Tips | October 21st 2025

Millwall will host Stoke City at the Den on Tuesday in another round of the 2025-26 EFL Championship campaign. Both sides will be looking to continue their solid starts to the season and get a result that could move them higher up the league table.

Millwall picked up their fifth league win of the season with a solid 2-1 win over Queens Park Rangers on their return from the international break to move into the top six for the first time since the opening weekend. The hosts, who only narrowly missed out on the promotion playoffs last campaign, have lost only one of their last five games and will be hoping to continue that form this midweek.

Stoke City have also lost only one of their last five games but have drawn three matches in that period and only returned to winning ways for the first time in over a month with a 1-0 win over newly-promoted Wrexham on Saturday. The visitors are sat in third place, just four points off the top and will be focused on building momentum from their last win when they make the trip to London this week.
